Current Experience

Scape technologies ltd

Scientific Advisor

Oct 2017 – Jan 2020 · 2 yrs 3 mos

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

Wayve

Co-Founder & CEO

Sep 2017 – Present · 8 yrs 7 mos

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 global offices! If you have a passion for building AI and seeing the impact of it embodied in the physical world, I'd love to chat.

Research Fellow at Trinity College

Jan 2017 – Oct 2021 · 4 yrs 9 mos · Cambridge, United Kingdom

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.

Skydio inc

Research Engineer

Jul 2016 – Mar 2017 · 8 mos · Menlo Park, California

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.
