Nathan Begbie Email & Phone Number

Nathan Begbie is a Head of Technical Customer Success at Turn.io. Colleagues describe them as "I heartily recommend Nathan for research and analysis using NLP/Machine Learning/AI. I had the pleasure of supervising Nathan during his MSc courses and for his MSc thesis. He was a fantastic student with great communication despite covid limiting in-person interaction during his degree. He wrote a great thesis analysing 'in-the-wild' miscontextualized images. In his thesis, Nathan gathered a massive dataset of fact-checks and built an automated pipeline through which he located a subset of 693 fact-checks that were about miscontextualized images. He then managed an annotation of the data to analyze the ways in which these images were miscontextualized. The insights in 2021 were very timely and remain relevant as even more of our communication online uses multimedia content." and "I had the pleasure of working closely with Nathan on one of Turn.io's flagship projects last year: the "Vot-A" chatbot for the Argentinian Electoral Authority (CNE). This project aimed to combat misinformation by providing voters with accurate and up-to-date electoral information through WhatsApp. Nathan's role as an AI & Solutions Engineer was crucial to the project's success. Nathan's dedication and customer-focused approach were evident throughout the project. He worked tirelessly to build the chatbots, navigating complex integrations with external systems, and displaying remarkable technical skills. His innovative solutions and ability to handle language and timezone differences ensured smooth operations and high-quality delivery for our customer. The project's success was significantly attributed to Nathan's contributions. His hard work and expertise were vital in making the "Vot-A" chatbot an impactful tool for the national elections. I highly recommend Nathan for his exceptional technical skills, dedication, and innovative problem-solving abilities."
