Hello

I am a research and software engineering leader based in Cambridge, UK.

I'm working at Gen (NASDAQ:GEN), a global leader in cybersafety software that serves over 500 million users worldwide. My role is to lead and contribute to cutting-edge technical projects pertaining to the use of AI for cybersafety applications and to identify opportunities for product enhancements to deliver to our users.

Background

My career has spanned, research, product development, and product innovation. Previously I was a Principal Researcher at OneSpan in the Innovation Centre team based in Cambridge, UK. Before that I spent time at Atom Bank during its early days as a startup, its fund raise of just under $175million, and successful first mobile app releases. Atom featured in Marketing Week's top 100 disruptive brands in 2016. At Atom I was part of a collaborative team scoping requirements, designing business processes, technical integrations, and user interfaces to deliver a secure mobile banking app on iOS and Android.

Going back even further, I was a member of Digital Interaction research group at Newcastle University. While there I completed a PhD funded by a Microsoft Research PhD scholarship. I also spent time at the Nokia Research Centre in Helsinki, Finland. And also at Microsoft Research Cambridge in UK.

Finally, for fun I created and actively maintain Rockstar Scholar, which is a Chrome browser extension that helps you track citation changes on your Google Scholar profile page.
