Hello!

Ok, back to the serious stuff...

My largest project to date involved leading development for the rebuilding of a leading UK brand's website on the Adobe Experience Management platform with a planned roll out to 33 international territories. I have have had the pleasure of creating and developing digital experiences for a multitude of international companies and conglomerates, though my proudest moments include building and installing the ‘Luna’ street game at Brighton Digital Festival, winning the PHPConf 2019 hackathon, and hand-crafting my very own fully automated, laser based cat entertainment system.

While my passion lies in creative and innovative projects, most recently I have been leading a team of developers to maintain and develop a web based B2B platform. My daily responsibilities include advanced use of JavaScript/NodeJS, utilising my past experience to guide development efforts, architecting various new features, mentoring and line-management of the development team, and spearheading development and improvements of machine learning features in the application.

Since finishing my Masters I have developed my Machine Learning skills both professionally and in personal time. In particular I have focused on NLP and various techniques to automatically triage and gain an understanding of corpora of customer feedback, theme discovery being a big part of this. In my personal time I have developed various genetic algorithms to accomplish tasks such as table planning and staff scheduling amongst others. In addition, I have a good knowledge of working with neural networks and RNNs, my pet project being a network that understands what ingredients go well together in a drink and at what quantities, leading to a web application that allows you to create brand new cocktails using just your home ingredients.
