About

Engineer by training, builder by habit.

I studied Computer Systems Engineering at the University of Bath, where my dissertation was a physical robot that used computer vision to count chemical drops in a lab. I then took an MSc in Management at Bath and graduated with a First Class Distinction, because I wanted to understand why some technology changes a business and some never leaves the slide deck.

Today I'm a Data Science & AI Analyst at RVU, the group behind Uswitch, Tempcover and Money.co.uk. I've built data pipelines, machine learning models and dashboards across three brands, and deployed an autonomous AI agent on Google Cloud. I'm also one of four internal consultants helping an 800+ person company adopt AI well.

I'm now focused on AI engineering: designing, deploying and running agents that are reliable, secure and worth what they cost. This site is where I learn in public: the projects I build, the mistakes I make, and the patterns that hold up in production.
