I'm an expert in applying machine learning to solve business problems. I have a proven track record of working with large industrial stakeholders spanning over 15 years to solve complex business problems using data science and machine learning. I have a wealth of experience of going from problem scoping and requirements capture through to product shipping and productionisation. I love getting stuck into any complex problem and creating a solution. To date I have published >60 academic papers and filed >20 patents. --- **Employment and project experience** **Data Science Senior Manager** Oracle _March 2020 - Present_ * Implemented several deep learning applications (visual odometry, reinforcement learning) for Red Bull F1 * Implemented RAG-based LLM system including fine-tuned LLMs for healthcare clients * Led a team of Applied Scientists in project planning, management and work scoping **Senior Principal Applied Scientist** Oracle _February 2019 - February 2020_ * Implemented a platform for automatic training and deployment of containerised machine learning models together with metrics monitoring alerts and triggers. **Senior Data Scientist** GoCardless _January 2018 - February 2019_ * Implemented and deployed into production fraud and risk models for validating user signups and payments * Implemented feed-forward NN model for revenue prediction **Senior Research Scientist** Experian _July 2017 - December 2018_ * Implemented large-scale bank transaction categorisation system * Coordinated large-scale annotation exercise to construct training dataset **Research Scientist** Experian _July 2016 - July 2017_ * Implemented integer-programming algorithm for anonymised data capture from telecommunications data **Assistant Professor** Lancaster University _September 2012 - June 2016_ * Led team of 4 researchers exploring computational methods for NLP and web mining * Director of MSc Data Science programme * Supervised to completion 3 PhD students…I'm an expert in applying machine learning to solve business problems.
