Research

I am a Postgraduate Researcher at the University of Southampton's Web Science Institute, investigating governance mechanisms to support the UK's creative industries amid emerging AI risks and developments.

Underpinning this research are two careers prior to academia. First, I spent over 15 years at J.P. Morgan, holding several governance-based roles spanning accounting, regulatory reporting, and internal audit leadership. My final years there focused on audit data analytics, serving as a product owner for data-driven (including AI/ML) solutions to enhance the capabilities of a global team of over 1,300 auditors. In parallel, I spent a decade working as a freelance composer and sound designer for indie video games, as well as collaborating with others on our own independent projects. My goal is to use this background to bridge the increasingly polarised gap between corporate pursuits of productivity and technological innovation, and the creative industries that exist to educate, entertain, and enrich our cultural landscape. Wish me luck.
