I am a Software Engineer and AI Researcher at Skipton Building Society, with research interests spanning healthcare, human-computer interaction and next-generation neural interfaces.

My work is defined by a single principle: real-world impact over hype.

My completed research includes close collaboration with NHS personnel examining how artificial intelligence can improve health literacy across the UK, a project built on the belief that the most powerful applications of AI are the ones that change lives rather than headlines.

I am also the lead researcher on a long-term exploratory project investigating AI-mediated communication between biological neural signals and digital systems, exploring how patterns of neural activity might one day translate directly into machine-executable instructions without the need for conventional interfaces.

I have spoken at Manchester Tech Week (DTX) and LLMDay London. My sessions are clear, practical and free of buzzwords. I do not ask audiences to be impressed by AI. I ask them to think harder about what they are actually doing with it.
