I would love to hear from companies or research groups who support ethical and independent information technology.

My services include research, software development for prototypes, technical writing (including documentation, training materials, reports etc), writing assistance (includes support for grant proposals), and facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration involving university research groups.  I have a background in multi-disciplinary research including computing, psychology, cognitive science and software development. My CV is here.

I am passionate about designing tools to support informed decisions and minimise errors. An example is managing of complex processes or infrastructure (such as IT systems or business processes). Also important are tools for critical thinking and challenging disinformation, and generally ethical design – avoiding addictive or manipulative features in apps or websites.

My focus is applying concepts from psychology to these design processes. Key topics include cognitive biases, emotion regulation theories, metacognition, and behaviour change theories. See more details.
