VCode is a groundbreaking, patented 2D barcode that boasts a simple yet powerful design. Its unique features include the ability to be scanned from great distances and angles, as well as being able to be reduced in size to as small as 100 microns. Its centralization approach ensures that the identity of each code remains private, and it can only be generated within the core system.

With 2.2 quintillion variations, VCode can change its linked destination based on various factors such as location, time and date, device type, user ID, code color, and the number of times it has been scanned. The technology has a wide range of applications including financial transactions, digital identity, fan engagement, and centralised security roles in conjunction with decentralised blockchain technologies. The company has established partnerships in the Middle East and Asia.

V-Health Passport

In 2017, I collaborated with government officials in Zimbabwe to investigate utilizing technology to enhance the country's social and business prospects on a global scale. The following year, I was invited to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland where I engaged with government leaders and examined potential uses of my technology for underbanked and underserved communities. As a result of these efforts, I was appointed as a Science & Technology Ambassador by the President of Zimbabwe. In this role, I worked with Paycode to implement a biometric onboarding technology alongside Vcode. However, in 2020, I resigned from this position to focus on global sustainable development goals with the United Nations.

Science & Technology Ambassador

In 2015, I established 'In The City', a flagship networking event that brings together entrepreneurs and industry professionals from various sectors. The event was supported by a wide range of industry-leading organizations in technology, finance and banking, including Santander, Microsoft, KPMG, and more. Each event was sponsored by a different industry leader, focusing on a specific field such as fintech or blockchain, and featured keynote speeches from accomplished entrepreneurs in those sectors. The event was held in Manchester, New York and London, and provided a platform for emerging companies such as Starling Bank, Social Chain and others to showcase their cutting-edge ideas and establish valuable connections with potential investors and partners. The events gained a reputation for being the premier platform for entrepreneurs to network with leading industry figures and expand their businesses.

Leveraging my extensive experience in technology platform development and identity real-time geo-tracking, I provided expert advice to the core team on the innovation and prototype design of a technology app that matches like-minded entrepreneurs in their vicinity based on their pre-vetted level, such as startup, angel investor, venture capital, etc. My insights and expertise were instrumental in shaping the direction and development of the app, providing a valuable resource for the team

As a consultant for Longbow Venture Capital, I provided expert guidance on technology and specialist projects seeking investment. My responsibilities included analyzing presentations and patents, researching market competitors, and introducing my network and other projects to the Longbow team for further exploration. I played an instrumental role in identifying and evaluating potential investment opportunities for the firm.

Partner

As the founder and CEO of VST Enterprises, I successfully led the growth and development of the company over a six-year period, resulting in a valuation of £234 million pounds based on inward investments. In response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, I strategically acquired the assets of the company through my holding company to ensure a seamless continuation of innovation and growth.

VST ENTERPRISES LIMITED

CEO And Founder

In 2012, I invented a smart-wearable device combining GPS and GSM technology for use by vulnerable adults and children. I was heavily involved in the prototype development, working with designers from TomTom, Pinewood Studios, and the Manchester University's Electronics Department where the company designed revolutionary antenna designs for wearable technology. I showcased the wristband at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in 2014, alongside other innovations I was working on for digital identity.

The company launched a real-time location platform that used geofencing to alert caretakers if the wearer of the wristband deviated from pre-determined routes. The calls could not be disconnected from the wearer's side, which assisted caretakers in their responsibilities. The company formed relationships with TelCo providers such as Telefonica, who later licensed the platform. However, after I left the company, QualCom withdrew an essential component of the wearables hardware from future production, and the company was unable to innovate the idea further.

KMS Solutions

Co-Founder

As the founder and CEO of Via Solidus Consultancy, I personally financed and developed my own innovative ideas and concepts through research and development, before incorporating them into successful ventures. My hands-on approach to idea generation and implementation allowed me to bring new and unique products and services to market.

Tech Innovation Consultant

Upon returning to the UK after working with Carnival Cruise Lines, I founded The Media Creation Enterprises, a company specializing in technology within the entertainment industry.

Utilizing my extensive network of contacts gained from my professional music career, I created the brand 'The Music Press' and 'The Movie Press', shortened to 'TMP'. TMP was used to gather original content from artists based on consumer demand. My goal was to build 'The Media Platform' under the TMP brand, which would deliver tailored content based on the reader's location, engagement level, and preferences. I collaborated with companies such as Future Publishing to develop the media and content strategy. In 2011, I met with Alive Drive, a Vancouver-based company that delivered entertainment content via USB drive with a private key activated by RFID.

The company had been previously acquired by Microsoft before the founder raised funds to re-purchase the business. I successfully negotiated a 50/50 licensing deal for Europe.

After my contraction of pneumonia in 2009, I turned to a new career path in entertainment, joining Carnival Cruise Lines as an entertainment officer. My goal was to rehabilitate my lung function and gradually regain my ability to perform in a live setting. I played in the ship's onboard Jazz band, showcasing the rich history of Jazz from its inception to the present day.

Carnival Corporation

Entertainment Officer

I have an accomplished career as a session drummer and tutor, turning professional at the age of 15. I have played in various notable pop-punk and rock bands from the UK, Europe, and the USA and have had the opportunity to perform live on prestigious TV stations such as the BBC, ITV, and MTV, as well as in venues as large as arenas and stadiums. With a wealth of sponsorship and endorsement deals from leading brands, I regularly participated in drum exhibitions. However, in 2009, I unfortunately contracted a rare strain of pneumonia which severely impacted my lung function and limited my ability to perform in live settings.
