Method of Displaying Advertising During a Video Pause

A concrete example of my approach to innovation: I co-invented a method that turns a pause in a video into a moment of discovery. It identifies objects in a paused frame and displays related information or advertising alongside them.

For video platforms and advertisers, the opportunity is contextual discovery and monetisation at a moment the viewer has chosen to pause.

03 / Personal projects

Outside the day job

A space for curiosity. Small apps, weekend builds and hands-on experiments I make in my spare time — for the pleasure of learning and making something useful.

Wearable app

Park Arrow

A small solution to a familiar problem: finding your parked car. This free Huawei watch app saves a location and guides you back with distance and direction. No account; location data stays on the device.

Personal project · Free to use

AI + hardware

MagicBall 8

A weekend experiment that gives the classic Magic 8 Ball a voice. An AI-powered hardware prototype that responds to spoken questions and a shake — a playful way to explore how quickly an idea can become something tangible.

Personal prototype · Inspired by the Magic 8 Ball; not affiliated with Mattel

Open to collaboration

From idea
to implementation.

It can start with a business challenge or a conversation. I help identify opportunities, shape ideas and turn them into working systems, with AI where it adds value. For collaboration, partnerships or patent enquiries, reach me by email or LinkedIn.
