Bio

I have built and managed teams at a number of early-stage companies in the highly regulated health-tech and fin-tech / data spaces. As an engineering contributor I've created simplified data models and services for complicated healthcare problems in seed and Series A+ stage companies. I have also built and managed peta-scale data pipelines. My entrepreneurial interest in health-tech was borne out of having my patented work licensed by a major UK biotech company.
