I am a research and software engineering leader based in Cambridge, UK.
I'm working at Gen (NASDAQ:GEN): a world leader in cybersafety software that serves over 500 million users. I'm working in the AI product innovation team. My role is to lead and contribute to projects pertaining to advanced AI techniques and find opportunities for new products or product enhancements to deliver to our users. Also I serve as a subject matter expert on cybersafety and AI applications. Our software products are very diverse and depend on a great user experience, for example, malware detection, web browsers, identity protection tools, and scam detection (and more).
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.
