I’ve been called a lot of things in my life: “He who falls a lot,” “The man who won’t shut up,” and “Oopsie Doopsie” being just three. Most people call me Dups, pronounced “Doops.” Yes, like “Oopsie Doopsie.”

On these pages are photos I have taken as I’ve travelled the world. Where I can, I shoot as manually as possible. I would say that even on my current camera, which likely has more features than the original moon rockets, I’m still fiddling about with aperture and speed. From these photos you might notice most of these are landscapes, flora and fauna, city scenes, and history. I don’t do much model photography, though it’s something I do want to try.

If you want to use a photo, please simply contact me through [email protected]. I usually have no issues with you using these photos, even in commercial or AI indexing, as long as you attribute the source (i.e., me!).

And who am I?

Well, rather than give you Kantian phrases of self-delusion, I live in Helsinki, Finland and work for Supermetrics where we are building the world’s best Marketing Intelligence Platform. As the CIO (former CTO), I get to work with the most amazing people from over 40 nationalities doing incredible stuff.

I love games and I love data, so I’ve also been lucky to play roles at incredible companies from their formative years to their world domination eras: BioWare Corp—before the acquisition by Electronic Arts—creators of the greatest video role-playing games ever; MySQL AB—before and after the acquisition by Sun Microsystems/Oracle—the creator of the world’s most successful and popular open-source database (at least up to 2017!).

But I guess what I love most is being part of hyper-growth, driven teams whether that’s me joining them or helping to try and create them. So together with some of the smartest people I know, I’ve founded companies with funding from some of Silicon Valley and Canada’s leading venture capitalists and angels. One such, Empire Avenue (acquired by Kred/PeopleBrowsr), became one of the top destinations in the world at the time which tried new ideas around gamifying social media and behaviours around monetizing reputation.

I am a proud Newfoundlander and Canadian first and foremost. I am surrounded by the beauty of Finland every day, where I call home these days. My world view and culinary choices have definitely been influenced by Sri Lanka, where I was born, and my former homes of Hong Kong and Papua New Guinea.

I sincerely hope you enjoy my photography and drop me a line at [email protected].
