I am a data engineer and a broadly skilled generalist senior developer - and in the past, a bioinformatician.

Bio summary: After a graduating with a maths degree in 2014 and an early career role in a corporation, I found my path to data engineering through a bioinformatics research institute in 2016, initially as a full stack developer and then taking on increasingly data focused work. I worked in life sciences for many years, until in 2023 I joined a healthcare startup, which for an exciting year and a half was a great opportunity to experiment with 'modern practice' like Databricks and integrating LLMs. Looking for new opportunities to engage in meaningful work.

From my bioinformatics and data engineer experience, I'm good at interfacing with researchers and turning ideas and prototypes into working products: developing data flow workflows, evaluating performance of models, providing interfaces and entry points for clients, and more.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of contributing to significant projects in academic, commercial, and non-profit settings. If my profile or any of the technologies listed resonate with you, feel free to reach out via email!

I'm a seasoned data + AI leader with 10+ years experience building high-performance teams focused on automation, analytics, and data-driven results. Imagine having a data leader who can not only build robust data infrastructure but can also explain why it matters to the entire organization. That's me. I'm the person who looks at complex data challenges and sees opportunities for radical transformation. Whether it's automating workflows, experimenting with AI, or creating novel ML models that drive efficiency, I'm all about pushing boundaries and turning data teams into growth accelerators.

I was previously co-founder of a DataOps tool, Shipyard. Before that, I was the Head of Data at PMG Digital Agency where I built the team from the ground up. It's most important for me to work for a mission-driven company that wants to scale with bold and innovative approaches. I want to sink my teeth into tough problems and learn new things.

I'll do my best work focused on a mix of data, AI, product, or operations. I can seamlessly adapt between IC or management roles. Smaller organizations with the ability to build something from the ground up is a big plus. Despite my background, I'd like to avoid working in the advertising space.
