I'm currently working on developing the next-generation of language client SDKs to bring the power of Weaviate into the hands of a wider variety of developers across the software engineering landscapeSo far, we have accomplished:- A complete redesign of the Python SDK introducing the new collections API released in v4 leveraging recent advances in Python generics- The implementation of a server-side gRPC API replacing the previous GraphQL search API for consumption by the new SDKs- The GA release of the new fully generic collections API for the v3 TypeScript SDK

Working closely with the CTO and core ML engineers on a variety of greenfield software solutions in collaboration with clients, I was involved in developing (chronologically):- The CarbonFixers building design carbon estimation SaaS web-app, developed as a service-oriented PERN-GQL distributed stack hosted in the Azure cloud ecosystem.- Within CarbonFixers, a data-driven GraphQL API for the aggregation and calculation of construction carbon emissions from EPDs written in Python using the FastAPI and Strawberry-GraphQL frameworks.- A recommendation engine (p2p, c2p, and c2c) built as an Express.js API using the Gremlin query language to interrogate a knowledge graph built through a C# entity resolution ETL pipeline.- An AIaaS platform offering on-demand multilingual sentiment analysis built as a k8s cluster of request-response Python micro-services and a React-Apollo web-app leveraging HuggingFace transformer models served by OpenVino.- An AI-powered ETL pipeline, written as a dynamic Python CLI with Typer, for performing large-scale sentiment analysis on tweets retrieved from Twitter's REST API using BERT models.- A demand forecasting tool powered by a Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT) model built using pola.rs for data pre-processing and PyTorch-Forecasting, PyTorch-Lightning, & Ray-Tuner for model definition, training, and tuning respectively.- An AIaaS image augmentation API as an event-driven Python/Go microservices cluster, with FastAPI as the API handler, deployed on Kubernetes leveraging HuggingFace CNN models served by OpenVino.

Alongside my research, I worked as a teaching assistant for a number of undergraduate courses both in theoretical physics and in computational programming.As a computing lab demonstrator I taught:- Python- C++- Mathematica- Matlaband, due to pressures induced by Covid-19, I also wrote the companion lecture notes to a first year undergraduate thermodynamics course in my final year to aid the lecturers of said course.

Under the supervision of Dr Alessandro Principi, I undertook academic research into the frontier-field of topological protection within the context of theoretical plasmonics.We developed theories, based mainly on solving the Time-independent Schrödinger Equation within the context of the Krönig-Penney model, and computational methods, involving highly parallel root-finding and matrix decomposition algorithms written in Mathematica, to predict and describe the emergence of highly tunable plasmonic phenomena that have the possibility of use in next-generation mesoscopic devices such as plasmonic waveguides, plasmonic biosensors, and plasmonic lasers known as 'spasers'.In all of these devices, the plasmon replaces the photon as the 'working substance' leading to rich and interesting phenomena that may well be exploited within industrial contexts. The ideas of topological protection then enter-in to increase the robustness of the plasmonic excitations leading to high qualities, resistance to disorder, and therefore great potential for application.
