What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, research-driven role in AI ethics or model training where I can apply ML, data science and policy skills to build responsible, deployable AI and influence ethical governance.

I am a BA Philosophy and (soon-to-be) MSc Computer Science graduate specializing in tech ethics, with a keen focus on the development and deployment of AI.

I completed a pioneering, interdisciplinary research project on the social and ethical impacts of AI in retail customer interactions, a capstone that earned distinction-level recognition in my MSc work.

I bring practical experience as a Freelance AI Trainer, writing, modifying and verifying input data for next-generation language models, and reinforcing models’ ethical behaviour, alongside extensive logistics, operations and client-facing roles that honed my leadership and problem-solving skills.

I am eager to join a team of passionate, likeminded individuals delivering excellence in the UK’s technical domain, contributing analytical insight, ethical rigour and hands-on ML/data science capabilities.
