A British AI Engineer and Sales Leader based in the UK.

I currently work as VP of Sales at Pydantic. My work focuses on the intersection of AI engineering, observability, and enterprise sales strategy.

Previously, I worked in a few different roles (developer, tech lead and engineering manager) for Healthtech unicorn Babylon Health. Whilst I was there, I worked on the Healthcheck product. A small team of us grew this disease risk assessment tool from a prototype to more than a million users in over a dozen countries, something I am proud of. I also led Babylon's central health record platform team for a while. I've also done a stint as an ML engineer in fintech.

From 2013-2016 I was fortunate enough to work in Beijing. I miss the dumplings a lot.

One of my favorite quotes is from Carl Friedrich Gauss: "It is not knowledge, but the act of learning which grants the greatest enjoyment. When I have clarified and exhausted a subject, then I turn away from it, in order to go into darkness again ..." This is why I love Computer Science, and why I've pivoted from pure engineering to commercial strategy: I'm constantly learning. There are so many fascinating areas to explore.

I'm an engineer at heart. I really enjoy writing code in Python, and I co-organized the Beijing Python meetup for a couple of years. Over the last few years, I taught over 40,000 students through my technical courses on Udemy, filling a gap in educational resources for intermediate/advanced engineers and data scientists. While I am no longer actively producing new courses, teaching remains a core part of how I approach technical leadership.

In my current and previous roles, I've spent time working on machine learning and AI engineering. This interest was originally born of some of my personal projects such as a prototype wearable for martial artists which allowed me to develop my understanding of scikit-learn and the scientific Python stack.

Now you know a bit about what makes me tick. If you are a technical founder looking to scale your sales motion, or need expertise in AI observability, feel free to contact me.
