- I've been freelancing and [building websites](https://web.archive.org/web/20051102052726/http://www.simssource.net/) since the mid 00s
- I started my full time career at IBM in 2011 in their [CICS transaction processing product](https://www.ibm.com/it-infrastructure/z/cics) before moving over to Watson where I was a customer-facing solutions architect which entailed helping other techies to use Watson APIs and services.
- In 2016 I left IBM to co-found [Filament AI](https://filament.ai), an AI & ML consultancy where I am currently CTO and Chief Data Scientist. I oversee and manage our technical roadmap and strategy, but I also keep my hands dirty and regularly deliver code for customers and for our products.
- I am also wrapping up my part-time PhD which I've been working on under the dual supervision of [Prof. Maria Liakata](https://www.turing.ac.uk/people/researchers/maria-liakata) at the [Alan Turing Institute](https://www.turing.ac.uk/) [Dr Amanda Clare](https://users.aber.ac.uk/afc/) at Aberystwth University (where I finished my BSc in 2013).
- My main academic affiliation is with [University of Warwick](https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/dcs/) but, I often crash Turing events and, I've been known to visit Aberystwyth to give talks at careers events and departmental seminars.

#### June 2023
#### October 2023
It's been a busy few months. We landed some funding at work which has allowed us to grow the company and hire a number of new team members.
- My company won [Emerging Tech Company of the year](https://thebusinessmagazine.co.uk/business_events/south-coast-tech-awards-2023/) at the South Coast Tech Awards.
#### September 2023
- After meeting a whole bunch of cool people, I decided to retire turbopilot. I wrote about that decision [here](https://brainsteam.co.uk/posts/2023/09/30/turbopilot-obit/).
- [My company won Best AI Product](https://filament.ai/2023/09/06/cogx-award-2023/) at CogX 2023
#### May 2023
- We [moved offices](https://brainsteam.co.uk/posts/2023/08/28/we-moved-offices1693231919/) from Southampton University Science Park to Whiteley Business park.
### April 2023
- It's been a busy few months. We landed some funding at work which has allowed us to grow the company and hire a number of new team members.
- I started [turbopilot](https://github.com/ravenscroftj/turbopilot), a local runtime that allows you to run near "state-of-the-art" code completion models locally without racks of expensive GPUs.
#### October 2022
After 7 years I have [finished my PhD thesis](https://brainsteam.co.uk/2022/09/25/phinished/) and [submitted it](https://brainsteam.co.uk/notes/2022/09/09/1662742877/). My PHD has been a huge part of my life and identity and it's been weird adapting to not working on it during every free moment any more.
I'm still living in the South of England with my wife and our cats. We're spending a lot of time on house maintenance type activities now that my PHD is done.
I am still CTO at [Filament AI](https://www.filament.ai/) - exciting things are afoot in our product development areas - hopefully I can share more publicly in the near future.
