Contact

By Alex • Last updated: 2 December 2025

Whether you are one person with a question, a small business trying to get started or a larger organisation looking for a fresh perspective, you are welcome to get in touch.

Messages do not need to be formal. A short email explaining who you are, what you are working on and what you would like to discuss is more than enough to start a conversation.

How to contact Alex

Email

The easiest way to reach Alex is by email. Messages are read personally and replies are tailored rather than automated.

You can use the address below for:

  • Potential roles, internships or consulting conversations
  • Security, risk and resilience questions or project ideas
  • Collaboration on tools, open projects or research
  • Automotive, advanced driving or Velosophy-related enquiries
  • Photography or Lumasphere-related questions

If you are not sure whether your question is in scope, you can still ask. If Alex cannot help, that will be clear and honest from the outset.

For businesses and organisations

Alex is particularly interested in how organisations manage security and resilience in the real world, where time, budget and people are limited and trade-offs have to be made.

If you are an SME, charity, public body or a larger company, you might want to:

  • Discuss a specific risk, incident or control you are concerned about
  • Sense-check a policy, process or technical change you are planning
  • Explore a small piece of research, a pilot project or a proof-of-concept
  • Ask about a talk, workshop or student-focused session

You do not need a fully formed brief. A short outline of your context and aims is enough to start a useful conversation.

Help for SMEs and new businesses

Reaching out to someone about security or a potential collaboration can feel awkward, especially if you are just starting out. The tool below is optional, but it may help you structure your first message so that it is clear, honest and easy to respond to.

Outreach helper (optional)

Fill in a few details about your situation and this tool will suggest a draft email you can copy, edit and send. It does not send anything for you and nothing is stored on a server.

This helper is only here to make it easier to get started. You are always free to ignore it and write your own message in your own style.
