My pre 1998 ITS world was served in a variety of industrial markets starting out an industrial refrigeration apprentice and later design engineer (10 years),  acoustic and vibration monitoring control systems, industrial environmental monitoring and gas detection (8 years, Pharma and petrochemical sector).

In 1998 my relationship with the ITS world began when I joined an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) company. The majority of my 22 year ITS career was spent with a leading worldwide ITS technology company providing Urban Traffic Control Systems and National Motorway Control Systems. These central systems were supported by a range of software and hardware solutions including road bridge and tunnel management (SCADA/PLC) systems, enforcement camera systems, above ground and in road vehicle detection systems as well as SCOOT and MOVA traffic signal control solutions.

Having worked in Ireland for over 15 years, I decided to relocate to Ireland and live in my family home in 2018. In 2019 I joined Arup as a Senior Consultant supporting TII within its ITS Team. In 2020 I was delighted to have been invited to join ITS Ireland as a board member.
