I build and evaluate AI and data systems for complex decisions, computational research, and technical learning.
My work combines applied AI, scientific computing, analytics, and education, with particular attention to evidence, uncertainty, auditability, reproducibility, explainability, and human judgement.
My technical practice has developed continuously since 2017 through scholarships, nanodegrees, specialist programmes, project work, and postgraduate study. I use GitHub as a record of that practice: not only finished applications, but also reproducible experiments, technical reports, notebooks, and research artefacts.
| Project | What it demonstrates |
|---|---|
| 🚀 Industry-Integrated AI Systems Synthesis | Auditable AI decision support for aerospace anomaly triage, with explicit architecture, evaluation, documentation, and reproducible analysis |
| 📊 BeLedgerReady | Full-stack audit-readiness assistant combining deterministic analytics, explainable AI, human review, synthetic demo data, and documented safeguards |
| 🐦 bioacoustic-topology | Computational bioacoustics using manifold learning, dynamical systems, motif structure, and scientific visualisation |
| 🪐 Exoplanet Discovery Observatory | Scientific data exploration and Tableau visualisation using NASA Exoplanet Archive data |
| 🧩 Clues | Python package for evidence-oriented exception investigation, with tests, packaging, CI, and human-readable diagnostic reports |
These projects span AI systems, scientific computing, analytics, visualisation, developer tooling, and decision support. The common thread is a preference for systems whose reasoning, evidence, and limitations remain visible.
I design and evaluate applied AI and data workflows using Python, SQL, machine learning, LLM systems, analytics, dashboards, and decision-support logic.
I explore computational approaches to scientific and technical questions, particularly where structure, uncertainty, signals, anomalies, multimodal data, and visualisation matter.
I teach and mentor across AI, data analysis, business intelligence, data science, machine learning, Python, SQL, and generative AI. My work includes curriculum development, project-based learning, technical feedback, and assessment.
I serve as a Generative AI Certification Juror & Evaluator, assessing practical deliverables, technical reasoning, methodology, documentation, communication, and responsible AI practice.
I am particularly interested in research artefacts that remain inspectable, reproducible, and attributable: repositories, notebooks, datasets, visualisations, technical reports, documented experiments, and versioned releases.
For new research and capstone releases, I use clear versioning and provenance, including Zenodo and DOI records where appropriate.

My systems perspective was strongly shaped by autonomous driving, where perception, localisation, prediction, planning, and control must work together under uncertainty.
Earlier work in this field is collected in the Self-Driving Car Engineer portfolio.
My route into AI has been cumulative rather than sudden.
Beginning with the Google Developer Scholarship Challenge in 2017, I pursued sustained technical development through project-based programmes, scholarships, nanodegrees, specialist study, and self-directed work.
Selected programmes, nanodegrees & scholarships
- Google Developer Scholarship Challenge
- Facebook AI Scholarship
- Bertelsmann Data Science Scholarship
- Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree
- Deep Learning Nanodegree
- Generative AI Nanodegree
- AWS technical training and cloud foundations
- Continued specialist study across computer vision, reinforcement learning, data science, scientific computing, Spark/Databricks, and modern AI tooling
That progression eventually led to an MSc in Artificial Intelligence with First Class Honours.
My earlier academic formation also includes an MA in Education with Merit, an MBA, and a PGCE with Qualified Teacher Status.
I write about AI, scientific reasoning, mathematics, representation, language, and the limits of what our systems allow us to know.

Evidence before claims · Reproducibility where it matters · Uncertainty made visible · Human judgement remains central
I am most interested in work where computation does more than automate a task: where it helps people inspect evidence, see structure, test assumptions, understand uncertainty, or make better decisions.
I entered technology through education, languages, and the humanities rather than a conventional engineering pathway. Technical study expanded that background rather than replacing it.
Literature, language, music, and a persistent fascination with space continue to influence the questions I explore, even when the result takes the form of a technical system.
