Professional experience
Research Software Development Engineer - Ocean 5 Technologies
March 2017 - present

Development of a command, control and analytics platform for fleets of GPS-and-sensor-equipped agricultural vehicles to be deployed in remote locations with unreliable internet access. Part of a government initiative to improve accountability and yield through technology and data. I work closely with electrical and mechanical engineers, and I am responsible for developing communication protocols and end-to-end systems development, hence my work spans from writing embedded C for microprocessors all the way to the Python backend and web UI.

R&D Scientist - Digital:MR
May 2015 - August 2015

4-month feasibility study on sentiment analysis of images in social media, funded by a research grant from the UK government's technology strategy board. Using the Yfcc100m and YLI datasets comprised of 100 million images, labels, and metadata, I investigated both existing and novel methods to develop a commercially-viable product.

Research Intern - Microsoft Research Cambridge
May 2014 - August 2014

8-week research internship through the Bright Minds Intern Competition programme in the Machine Learning and Perception research group, working with Principal / Senior Researchers Pushmeet Kohli, Yoram Bachrach, Ulrich Paquet, and Filip Radlinski.

I worked on Project SmartFence - an application for web access control. Users block or allow the few sites they know and SmartFence infers the suitability for the rest of the web. We developed several different cluster/kernel-based models and visualization schemes, and I delivered a prototype for the OneWeek company-wide hackathon. A patent was applied for.

Founding Developer - www.unientry.org
June 2013 - 2014

3-month internship with UniEntry to develop a pilot site to help sixth form students find the right university. The platform filters information from the UK's Higher Education Statistics Agency and gives recommendations based on students' registered information and grades.
