About Me

Where I work

I work as the IT and Digital Manager at the Institute for Sustainability Leadership. The institute is one of the departments within the School of Technology at the University of Cambridge.

My Bio

I have over 30 years of experience in helping organisations leverage technology for business success. I have worked across industries, guiding teams through the ever-changing IT landscape. I have overseen projects, from system implementations to infrastructure upgrades, ensuring seamless technological support. And I have cultivated collaboration and innovation within teams to deliver successful outcomes.

My experience has spanned a wide range of technologies, adapting to emerging trends and staying updated. From traditional systems to cloud solutions, leveraging AI, data analytics, and automation for process optimisation and strategic decision-making.

I engage in professional development, attending conferences, training programmes, and online communities. This has helped keep me informed and brought innovative solutions to the organisations I have served.

More recently I have been working with Microsoft Power Automate (Flow) since 2020 along with some of Microsoft Power Apps. I’m active on the Microsoft Power Automate Community as ekarim2020 and have authored over 500 solutions since July 2021.

In addition to my responsibilities, I have taken great pride in coaching and mentoring individuals.

I like to stay up-to-date but it’s not easy with fast changing technology. I try to blog about things I have come across when I have the time. This is my personal IT blog and any views or opinions expressed are solely my own. Click here to contact me.

This was my old office on a tidy day (that wasn’t my desk by the way!)

In those days I worked on a lot of different tech, software and services and supported users across the globe.

Even if the office looked a bit messy, look how we kept the bookcase tidy:

I’ve finally moved into the “World-first sustainable office retrofitted” headquarters in August of 2022. The building is called the Entopia Building.
