About

I'm the Chief Technology Officer of Health Data Avatar, where I lead development on privacy-first AI tools for health data management. I develop and teach courses on quantum computing (University of Sussex, QA), following on from my PhD in AI and Quantum Computing (Oxford). Outside of tech, I'm a musician (flute, piano, voice), visual artist, and someone who's navigated chronic illness and disability. That experience shapes much of my work - including my commitment to accessibility and empowering design.
