Welcome to my personal homepage, as the header suggests, this is really just a culmination of various aspects of my life, some things I am proud of, others not as much. It’s a blog, WIP, and an uncultivated digital garden of snippets, interesting links, pictures, things that have inspired me, hobbies, projects, key moments, travel, work, and nostalgic lists of material, and immaterial things that have made me who I am.
Reflecting on the past year, I remember several memorable moments. One of the smaller yet most impactful opportunities was sharing the “Why” behind a great Mobile Experience with approximately 100 new SAP employees during their onboarding. This experience reinforced the importance of understanding the rationale behind our mobile initiatives and how it shapes our work within the company hashtag#LifeAtSAPhashtag#Mobilehashtag#EnterpriseMobilityhashtag#Applehashtag#AppleAtSAP
I wish I could call myself a collector, but at this stage it’s simply an enthusiast. This is slightly personal and sentimental, but in our home life my dad never wore his shirt, it was general always hot, muggy, beach like weather in East London and therefor slipslops (optional) and shorts outside of work were the norm. But there was one thing he did wear religiously, and that was his Omega Speedmaster Mark II.
He originally purchased it while in Switzerland in around 1973. He had it serviced once (that I can remember) because it kept getting moisture under the glass. When he passed away, I didnt want to ask for the watch, but it was always on my wish list. On my 40th birthday I purchased the same watch (Make/Model) as a keepsake and as a simple reminder. After a few years, my mom offered me the watch and I now have two 🙂 I wold like to “collect” more, and while I do also have my grandfathers Seiko and a few more cool watches, I would not call myself a horologist or collector just yet 🙂read more
One benefit of owning multiple Canyon bikes is that the majority of them have had the same style/shape of stem caps. From my very first one until now, I have printed, CNC’ed, laser cut, and layed up over a dozen, each with some unique design or nuanced variation depending on the manufacturing method. This version was no different 🙂 I have been waiting to streamline the design to have it fit closer to the bar profile on my MTB. So this time I set out to CNC a mold, wet lay carbon into the mold, and then CNC the shape.
Variant 1: Failed 🙁 the shape worked quite well but the finish was ugly and would be a nightmare to CNC accurately.
Variant 2: Failed 🙁 I CNC’ed the shape using Aluminum, wet layed the carbon, but it cured into the mold and was unable to demold it successfully with delaminating/damaging the part.read more
Probably not the final cover, this is a Photoshop edit with Gemini background.
Probably one of the most nerve wracking things I have ever done is made this post. It was in my “drafts” for a while, the post went through a bunch of variations and changes, but “promoting” myself is something I have never enjoyed doing. How do you share something you have spent a considerable amount of time and passion on, without sounding arrogant. How do you share something in today’s age, without it sounding like it was created by AI, or is it even relevant if it was, or in some peoples eyes, wasn’t? Never the less, I hit the share button and basically nothing happened, which is what I was hoping. My plan was always to simply stake a claim. Put it out there to the world I had done this research and think it would be valuable to share. It was also a line in the sand for me to move my ass and get this thing completed … hopefully it does not take six more years to get it there.read more
It’s no secret I am amazed with the innovative manufacturing of Carbon Fiber. Growing up as a F1 fan, I have drooled over high the high tech elements which is the foundation of Aerospace and racing. Spending some time over the past couple of years doing some hobby/DIY projects has further inflated my passion because I am slowly learning the intricacies, time and effort it takes to make something as simple as a 2D computer mount.
On my adventures into learning more about composites I have come across a few people and companies I aspired to be like one day, not all about high-tech or huge profits, but also about creative marketing and unique engineering solutions. One of the is Gemini, a small CF company out of Barcelona, Spain who produce some beautiful products in cycling.read more
Seeing all these posts about #SAPhashtag#TechEd makes me think …. remember when mobile access was a “nice-to-have” for select employees? Road Warriors, C-Suite, Field Techs …
Those days are over.
As we enter the era of agentic AI, every employee is becoming an orchestrator … managing teams of AI agents, approving tasks, and overseeing processes that never sleep. The definition of productivity now means directing AI operations, not just GSD. These processes don’t wait for you to return to your desk.
Enterprise mobility isn’t about convenience anymore—it’s about keeping pace with AI-speed business.
The question isn’t whether to invest in this trend. It’s whether you can afford not to.
What’s your organization doing to prepare for this shift?
