I currently work as a Software Development Manager for Amazon Alexa in Cambridge, UK. I have previously worked in the IoT sector (home energy monitoring and home automation), in academia, in commercial banking and in the voluntary sector.
I have a PhD in Computer Science from Birkbeck College at the University of London. The key research goal of my thesis was the use of automatically acquired semantic resources to drive creative natural language generation. I explored this and other threads of research in NLG and NLP in the context of an application called ENIGMA which automatically generates cryptic crossword clues.
