I am a Research Software Engineer in the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge, working on research software, AI-assisted workflows, and data-processing pipelines for conservation evidence synthesis. My current work includes owning and developing AI/LLM pipelines for the Conservation Evidence database, researching and evaluating open-source language models, and integrating Hugging Face models into author-facing research tools.

Previously, I worked as a Software Engineer and later Lead Software Engineer at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, University of Cambridge, where I owned development across Python, C#, Unity, Django, AWS, testing, documentation, and open-source research software. I also hold an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from King's College London.

Outside of research software, I develop games and recently commercially released my psychological horror game, ItLivesInTheWoods, on Steam.
