Personal Statement

I’m a software engineer with practical experience in a variety of industries (IT, publishing, and academia). I love writing clean code, creating and using databases, and analysing data.

I’m currently working as monetisation engineer for True Knowledge Ltd, a cutting-edge AI company focused on question answering. I joined in 2005 (employee number 1!) as a developer, taken on to build, completely from scratch, the Web front end to the system’s back end and database. I’m a key member of the company, and have taken on a variety of roles within it (e.g. patent editing and diagram drawing). I formed and managed the Knowledge Team, one of the two core teams in the company, and built it up to nine staff with two team leads reporting to me. When the company was restructured early in 2011, it became clear that it needed someone to take an engineering approach to page monetisation and traffic analysis, a challenge that I was excited to take on.
