About Tom

Me when I was little, with Superman!
I’m an SEO Consultant at Distilled, with a background in freelance web development. Nowadays I focus mostly on SEO and don’t have time for so much in the way of web development, other than my own projects.
Over the last few years, when not working on cool web projects, I’ve been kept mostly busy working on my PhD in Artificial Intelligence. I’m currently writing up my thesis, and am looking forward to having achieved that goal. If you’d like to read my publications, you can visit my University of Hertfordshire web page about my research which is concerned with Information Theoretic Methods for Generating Intelligent Behaviours.
My passion for the web and for SEO, means I’m often applying my scientific training to SEO puzzles; drawing correlations and finding patterns in how the Google and the engines are working and finding ways to leverage this knowledge.
I also enjoy doing other bits and pieces, and have recently made my first WordPress plugin. I have done a few mobile web development projects, and can just about scrape together an iOS app.
My other interests include playing poker, and training in martial arts (Jeet Kune Do).
