I do everything data - whether that's machine learning research, deploying models into production environments, data engineering, or working with scientists to automate their pipelines.I have a PhD and background in science, a history of research in artificial intelligence, and have built and maintained various production software environments (APIs, websites, data pipelines). I'm happy as a team's tech lead, guiding and mentoring others, or knuckling down and building things myself.I excel and thrive at taking a hard or "impossible" problem and breaking it down into small solvable chunks.I am based in Aotearoa / New Zealand and am not looking to relocate.
