Consulting Work
I do consulting work through my company Parakeet Consulting, specialising in Rust software development and scientific computing.
I build data-intensive backend systems for clients who need performance, correctness and reliability. My work spans service architecture, API design, gRPC and HTTP backends, observability, and database integration in Rust and Python. I also work in scientific computing, bringing over a decade of experience in clinical epidemiology and health data science to simulation, synthetic data generation, and reproducible research tooling.
I started in health data research but have since moved into more general software development and consulting, and have worked in a number of different industries including research, healthcare, medtech, lifestyle, and gaming.
I regularly deliver paid workshops and guest lectures at universities including Glasgow, Queen Mary, LSHTM, and Imperial College London, on topics including research software engineering, reproducible research, and modern development practices for scientists and clinicians.
I am also available for speaking engagements and bespoke workshops.
