I moved from Christies to their parent company, the Nexus Brands Group in April 2023 in order to build a centralised data function across the European division of Nexus Brands Group. Nexus own a number of professional brands across the tattoo, beauty and pet grooming industries, including Barber DTS , Nouveau HD Beauty , and Christies Direct . As the European data scientist, I’m responsible for building a data warehouse and then delivering reporting and data science insight across all European brands, with the same goals to deliver data science insight by leveraging all streams of data, and foster stakeholder engagement. This is a continuation of my work at Christies, now working across a wider range of industries and with data from a diverse range of sources to deliver a consistent and centralised report structure accounting for the requirements of each distinct businesses, before delivering deeper data science insights.

Christies Direct are one of the largest pet-grooming supply companies in the world. I joined Christies in 2022 to build a Data Science function within the company. This was the foundation of a strong data culture, and the aim of delivering data science insight by leveraging all streams of data. This involved working with stakeholders across all levels and roles within the company, to empower them with the insight to take data driven decisions. I also worked with data from our sister company, Transgroom during my time at Christies. I created a reporting structure which brought all the distinct data sets in each company together into a cohesive reporting format, allowing for direct comparison between businesses. My work in building this reporting function led to an internal promotion to the role of European Data Scientist, working for Christies' parent company, the Nexus Brands Group.

During a four month contract I worked on further refining bespoke image feature recognition software for Randox Laboratories. This involved developing code to address the challenges of new biochip designs, and working with biomedical colleagues to ensure their design specifications were met. As in my PhD, this invovled the creation of technical documents and presentations to describe the operation of the feature recognition software. The coding was primarily focused on IDL.
