I hold an MEng in Electronic Engineering. I began my career at Sony as an image-processing engineer before moving into life sciences at Oxford Nanopore, where I delivered ML and software features for DNA sequencing across embedded IoT and server-class systems. I'm passionate about learning, teaching, and creating; at Arm, I've coauthored several ML optimization courses used by developers and academia worldwide.
