I am building the Reachdesk data science team to develop recommendation systems to help our customers gift smarter - what should they be sending, too whom and when. I have established the data science and engineering team. Together with the engineering and product teams, we have deployed Databricks as our data lakehouse, developed a recommendation system.

• Developed cutting‑edge digital therapeutics; product owner of three new mobile applications on iOS and Android.
• Grew a high‑performing, remote team, marrying skill‑sets across technical areas, identifying areas for mutual support, and monitoring challenges and unknowns to reduce project risk.
• Designed, developed and deployed a data pipeline to dramatically enhance the data collection and analysis output.
• Built a real‑time neural network (Keras/TensorFlow Lite) smartphone based step detector that is in‑production and providing consistent therapy and data across all devices. Balanced accuracy and features with.
• Developed and trained GANs (PyTorch & TensorFlow) for icon generation and colourisation, outputs used in live applications.
• Created a clinical trial dashboard for input, export and monitoring of data in a secure, reliable and auditable manner (Dash & MySQL).

• Led international teams of astrophysicists. Conducted research from initial conception through construction, data analysis and dissemination.
• VERITAS software lead. Directed upgrades, code reviews and validation. Developed of a Docker image library and an automated quality control procedure. Designed and deployed analysis pipeline (Python & MySQL) to remove.
• Developed Muon Hunters, a citizen science project to classify large data volumes for validation of unsupervised learning algorithms. With over two million classifications it improved accuracy and completeness whilst.
• Mentored multiple students and taught introductory undergraduate astronomy to non‑science majors. Encouraged students to develop new skills and grow into new areas whilst maintaining ownership of their own education.
• Won the Trevor Weekes award for service for my contributions to the VERITAS experiment.
