About

I’m a software engineer at Nomio, turning unstructured legal data into structured data, and a former university lecturer and researcher in cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, and statistics. Before joining Nomio, I worked in machine learning on an AI-powered data analytics platform.

I hold a PhD in Cognitive Science from Macquarie University and have held academic positions at Sussex, Cambridge, and the Donders Institute. My research explores how we explain cognition, what counts as statistical evidence, and how to make research reproducible. I also develop open-source statistical tools and have taught research methods and Bayesian statistics. More about me.
