CEO, SmashIQ

Build useful things. Leave room for badminton and a good playlist.

About

The CEO byline is where SmashIQ explains the choices behind the product and the promises it intends to keep. The interests extend to technology and AI, sport in general, and badminton in rather more detail. Music usually finds a way into the conversation too. Expect curiosity about what a tool can actually do, plain answers about its limits, and the occasional detour from the tournament desk.
