I lead business development for a neurotechnology venture developing non-invasive neuromodulation, working on investor materials, grants and partnerships.

Alongside the commercial work, I co-developed a batched Jansen–Rit neural mass simulator and Python workflows for replaying simulations. Saved parameters and seeds make runs reproducible; the interfaces distinguish measured signals from predictions.

The work uses synthetic streams and saved research data. It is a research tool, not a clinically validated system.

I designed and built an AI account-planning agent that turns client information and delivery records into draft roadmaps.

I wrote the prompts and TypeScript integration, then built a React interface inside HubSpot so colleagues can inspect recommendations and review the evidence. Sources remain attached to the output, inferences are labelled, and gaps in the information are flagged.

The work is in internal pilot use, with further interface development and testing.

I work with system dynamics and agent-based models for business forecasting, using Docker to manage simulations and Python to examine their outputs.

I test accounting identities, stock-flow consistency and uncertainty estimates, including scenarios at the limits of a model. Reproducible issues become diagnostic evidence for engineering follow-up.

My developing MSc research direction explores neural dynamics, simulation-based inference and generative modelling, with an interest in forecasting signals under uncertainty.

My undergraduate dissertation, The Readability Illusion, compared AI-derived readability measures with traditional metrics in central-bank communication and tested links between language complexity and financial markets.

With Dr Alan Huang at Strathclyde, I am preparing a manuscript on generative AI governance and institutional trust in higher education, using reflexive thematic analysis of focus-group data.

I co-founded StrathEssentials to reduce waste in educational resources and developed it through to campus-wide adoption. We agreed its transfer to the university in August 2025.

I won the Strathclyde Inspire Exploring Entrepreneurship Challenge in 2024 and 2026, and the Santander Universities Open Business Creators Startup Fund in 2026. My writing received the Tom Morrison Essay Prize and second place in the CMA national essay competition.
