AI Data Specialist
Building intelligent tools at the intersection of AI and product thinking.
About
I'm an AI data specialist with experience in web scraping, data extraction, and AI model evaluation. I build automated pipelines and work at the intersection of data analysis and artificial intelligence.
Currently at Mindrift, I build automated web scraping workflows and transform raw data into analysis-ready datasets. Previously at Scale AI, I benchmarked text-to-image models and developed RAG-based data extraction processes.
I hold an MSc in Business Analytics from Bayes Business School and a BSc in Information Management for Business from UCL.
Right now I'm finishing my MSc dissertation and building mytai — an AI-powered fitness app for iOS.
