This paper develops a systems-based analysis of the relationship between global warming, human adaptation, and visceral adiposity, with particular emphasis on the implications for metabolic health and pre-diabetes.
Sexual dimorphism in human fat distribution is well documented, with men tending toward greater visceral adiposity and women more commonly storing fat subcutaneously, particularly in gluteofemoral regions.
The global rise in metabolic disorders, particularly those associated with visceral adiposity, represents one of the most significant public health challenges of the modern era.
The relationship between modern environments and metabolic health has been widely examined in physiology, epidemiology, and public health.
This paper presents a systems-level analysis of visceral adiposity and associated metabolic dysfunction, reframing these conditions not as isolated physiological failures but as predictable outputs of a complex, tightly coupled bio
Modern technological civilisation has progressively reduced humanity’s exposure to environmental variability, physical exertion, and thermoregulatory demand.
Writing, singing and publishing hymns has become a deeply practical way for me to manage stress and maintain balance amid the demands of professional life. There is something uniquely grounding about taking words of faith—often rooted in Scripture—and shaping them into music that can be both personally reflective and shared with others. The process of translating, arranging, and recording hymns, particularly for wider distribution, provides a structured creative outlet that contrasts with the intensity of technical and leadership responsibilities. https://open.spotify.com/album/0TpDbLqPoNTynJ7MW63tnm?si=Wkpz4ixMTbyeCfCeeFlxGQ
I volunteer teaching Bible Hebrew to Swahili speakers through weekly sessions—both virtual and in-person—covering alphabet, grammar, and verse reading in Swahili. Using a Midrash-style Christadelphian method, I integrate study aids, drills, discussions, video tutorials, and text analysis workshops, empowering learners’ independent interpretation and fostering community among East African assemblies.
Artificial Intelligence
My background includes a BSc (Hons) in technology with an AI specialization, and I began pioneering artificial intelligence research in the 1980s. I built early rule-based expert systems and explored foundational neural computation, contributing to every major wave of AI innovation—from symbolic reasoning to deep learning.
I have led the performance optimization of global eCommerce platforms generating billions in revenue, focusing on key metrics such as scalability, security, cost-efficiency, and stability. Using data-driven monitoring and analytics, I’ve driven continuous improvement across the technology stack. Embracing agile principles, I’ve built cross-functional teams that iterate rapidly, respond to change, and prioritize customer value. This agile approach has accelerated delivery cycles, improved platform resilience, and enabled strategic adaptability in dynamic markets. The result is a suite of high-performing digital storefronts that support long-term growth, operational efficiency, and a consistently strong customer experience.
