• Areas of expertise: Emerging technology, mortgages, fintech, open banking, consumer technology, science, space, security, hacking, telecommunications
• TV & radio appearances: I am more than happy to talk about technology and some areas of science on radio or TV. I am most authoritative/knowledgeable when it comes to emerging tech, fintech (blockchain, crypto currency, open banking), consumer tech, science, or a news story that I've covered recently. I have been on BBC, Al Jazeera, and NPR, among other networks and stations. Email me if you want to set something up. I live close to central London, so can visit your studio if needed.

Primary resources

• Trussle -- I am the head of organic growth at Trussle, the UK's first online mortgage broker. We make getting a mortgage easier and fairer for everyone in the UK. My role is to grow the business, primarily through organic traffic.
• Red Ventures -- I was a director at Red Ventures, managing all content in the UK and Europe. I led the content strategy for Zoopla and uSwitch, following the acquisition of ZPG by RV and Silver Lake. I was also the editor in chief of Bankrate UK, managing the launch of a fully localised Bankrate in the UK.
• Ars Technica -- I was the editor of Ars Technica UK. Ars is the authoritative source for techology, science, and digital policy reporting in the UK. Things went pretty well during my tenure: we went from zero users to almost two million in a couple of years. But alas, we were closed down in September 2017.
• ExtremeTech -- Between 2011 and the end of 2014, I led the relaunch of the best place on the internet to find deep, and often quite opinionated analysis of emerging technology. By the end of 2014, I had grown the site to around 4 million monthly unique visitors. If you're looking for stuff written by me, hit up my ExtremeTech author page.

Secondary resources

• Instagram -- While Flickr tends to mostly be photos of pretty landscapes and photos taken with my DSLR, Instagram is mostly smartphone photos of my bearded visage, food, and stuff like that.
• LinkedIn -- Wanna be part of my NETWORK? Reach out and touch my base on LinkedIn.
• Flickr -- As well as being an editor/writer, I'm also (technically) a professional photographer. I mostly only take photos when I travel, though -- and then upload them to Flickr! My best photos are available in the Portfolio set on Flickr.
• Twitter -- Are inane, egocentric babblings your kind of thing? Despite being deeply embroiled in the world of technology, I also tweet about food, music, TV, and the (surprising) love of my life: musical theatre.
• Buy my maps! -- I'm trying out a new thing: selling prints of lovely old maps of London and the UK. They're reasonably priced. Buy one! Good for your own wall, or as a gift...

Tertiary resources

If the previous two sections didn't sate your curiousity, or if they piqued it, email me. Perhaps you can glean something from my Spotify profile, or Goodreads (though I haven't read a book in a long time, sadly).

As I mentioned above, if you need me for a TV or radio segment, I'm more than happy to talk about technology (consumer and enterprise), science (space, emerging sci/tech), and a few other odd areas (robots, high-tech weapons, etc.) Just email me if you want to set something up.

Generally, if you see a Mr Seb anywhere on the internet, it's me (unless it's a Frenchman -- there are a lot of French Mr Sebs, for some reason).
