Wayve is building AV2.0—a next generation autonomous driving system that can quickly and safely adapt to new driving domains anywhere in the world. I firmly believe that large scale deployment of autonomy will only be possible with an intelligent, data-driven solution using a lean sensor and compute stack. We've raised $1.3b and are assembling a team of exceptional people to build exactly this. We're hiring across our offices in London, Silicon Valley and Vancouver! If you have a passion for building AI and seeing the impact of it embodied in the physical world, I'd love to chat. https://wayve.ai/join-us/

An academic research fellowship that I was awarded in the third year of my PhD, elected by a board of Royal Society Fellows and Nobel Laureates.

Scape (acquired by Facebook in 2020) built one of the first APIs for city-scale localisation with computer vision.

Skydio launched the world’s first autonomous consumer drone. I designed the deep learning algorithm which progressed the drone from being able to track only people wearing a specific coloured t-shirt, to being able to track humans in general. I had a lot of fun testing the drone's ability to autonomously follow me while mountain biking in California.

A wonderful half year working as a consultant on enterprise software, analytics and AR/VR between my undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
