# About

I'm a software engineer from Scotland. My professional interests include:

• Cloud-native tooling and distributed systems,
• Building useful data-driven tools, products, and services,
• Maintaining high quality and testability in data- and ML-enabled products,

At present, I'm an engineer at Cofide Security (opens new window).

Earlier in my career, I worked in engineering research at the University of Strathclyde (opens new window): developing statistical and machine learning methods for reliability in nuclear generation condition monitoring. After an extended write-up period, I successfully defended my thesis (opens new window) in January 2019 and received my doctorate in November of the same year.

I live in the south of Scotland with my family and our Scottish Terrier. When I’m not writing code, I spend most of my free time reading, training Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and playing/watching golf.
