I’m a Senior Research Software Engineer in the Research Software and Analytics group at the University of Exeter. While my core interest is ethical, sustainable digital health innovation, my current work spans diverse projects—from automating bacteria image analysis for antimicrobial resistance with the Pagliara Lab, to co-leading the X-CITED project on research technical careers, and developing health data pipelines that convert electronic health records into OMOP data models. Previously, I spent almost a decade at Renishaw Neuro Solutions developing Neuroinspire neurosurgical planning software, and later helped set up the QMS and software lifecycle processes at IngeniumAI. My background in neuroscience and experience in regulated software development now inform my focus on building inclusive, impactful digital health solutions.
