Work history
Senior Developer Advocate, TensorFlow.jsGoogle
San Francisco, United StatesFull Time
Positioned within the TensorFlow & RMI (research + machine intelligence) engineering group lead by Jeff Dean at Google helping to spread the love for machine learning globally using web technologies across the stack. From client side in browser using pure JavaScript on the front end, to Node.js on the back end, and even through hosted environments such as Google Cloud's AutoML that supports transfer learning using your own data via our cloud based interface.
As the 1st developer advocate in developer relations for TensorFlow.js I help in all aspects of the DevRel life-cycle, including but not limited to:
1. Being the public face of TensorFlow.js to our developers globally by:
- Organising / speaking at industry leading conferences around the world to educate / inspire people to take their 1st steps with ML and TensorFlow.js
- Helping developers get started through easy to understand tutorials on our official / partner sites
- Creating inspiring prototypes, understandable documentation, tech blogs, + multimedia (YouTube channel)
- Providing code examples / contributions to our open source efforts (GitHub)
- Consulting with key industry leading partners to help push the boundaries of ML in JS
- Sponsoring, organising, + mentoring at hackathons
- Being active where our developers are generally speaking / maintaining social presence online
- Creating in depth courses on popular digital learning sites, at universities, and anyone else interested in teaching TensorFlow
2. I also represent all developers outside of Google to be their voice back to the TensorFlow engineering team so that I can provide feedback to help improve our core offering, rapidly identify bugs, and add new features and generally create the best possible product for our audience.
Excited to help everyone, no matter what their experience level, to take their first steps in the ML / AI world and empower them to be creative and solve real problems that may just change the world, and even their lives.
Senior Creative Technologist / EngineerGoogle
- San Bruno, CA, USAFull Time
Working with the ZOO team at Google as a Creative Technologist / Web Engineer / Research Engineer
TLDR: I get to play with the hottest tech / APIs in the industry from both Google and third parties to create jaw dropping digital experiences that inspire both the general public and top tier brands globally.
The ZOO is a creative think tank tasked with using the latest Google technologies to create technical world firsts for our largest brands. It is my role to know something about everything going on in the tech world and then innovate in this space. I rapidly prototype new technical ideas to prove a concept's feasibility. It could be anything - from the physical (eg smart mirrors and drones) to pure software implementations (eg machine learning), or a hybrid of the two. Whatever is best suited for the task. We work with the world's leading creative agencies to then scale those prototypes out and captivate the world.

1st Class Computer Science MEng with Honours.
My thesis title for my final year project was "Reality mining using mobile devices and pseudonymous social networks" for which I won the final year Innovative Web Applications Prize prize for having the best web based thesis and research project. This project was also nominated for the National SET awards judged by the IET, for which I made it through to the top 3 people in the UK (see below).
