ML Product Owner @ Noonien
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at CalTech working in AI for ecology.
I am also the founder of Noonien, a Machine Learning consultancy engineering custom solutions for businesses and
indivuals.
I am a recent DPhil graduate in Computer Vision and Machine Learning from the
Active Vision Laboratory group at the Engineering
Science department of the University of Oxford.
My research interests and experience are broad, spanning: ecology, weakly-supervised computer
vision, large-scale data understanding, generative AI, LLMs, and engineering pipeline acceleration.
