He holds a Master of Science in Applied Research Methods from the University of Edinburgh and a Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences from the University of Manchester — an academic background that gives his writing a structured, evidence-based approach that distinguishes it from opinion-driven content. His content covers data analysis, industry research, policy evaluation, market trends, and cross-sector insights across topics that require depth, accuracy, and a methodical approach to evidence. His work has appeared on platforms including The Conversation, ResearchGate Blog, and Towards Data Science, where he writes for professionals, academics, and informed readers who need content built on verified research — not aggregated summaries of existing commentary. Over 7 years, John has produced research reports and analytical content for organisations across the public and private sectors, covering topics ranging from policy impact assessments to consumer behaviour analysis. He has published 150+ research-driven articles and reports, contributed to peer-reviewed publications, and is a member of the Market Research Society (MRS), UK. Across all his writing, every claim is sourced, every data point is verified against primary research, and no conclusion is drawn without identifying the evidence and its limitations — because research content that does not show its working is not research, it is assertion.
