Mission — I am interested in biodiversity and all the ways technology can be leveraged for good. I grew up by the sea and I want to give back the love that growing up with nature gives. I am looking for software, AI, film and speaking opportunities with driven and caring people and teams for us to learn and grow together and have a positive effect on nature (preferably oceans).
What am I up to now — I am currently working with Wildlife.ai and the Department of Conservation in New Zealand to automate and streamline marine reserve reporting. I am also building Nature Venture, and sharing what I learn about the tech for nature space.
As part of the sharing goal, I've also done a fair bit of public speaking, at some conferences and events, and I regularly teach and TA the data science and AI curriculum at Le Wagon.
I still travel, cycle and play underwater rugby.
