James is our Principal Data Scientist.

James has been building algorithms to solve real-world problems for more than 10 years. He’s built models for some of the world’s largest banks, airlines and telcos and for a myriad of smaller companies. He fashions himself a small-data data scientist who specialises at the interface of expert knowledge and “just-enough” data to make valid, impactful decisions.

His PhD was part of a wider project to cure paralysis where he embedded knowledge from neurosurgeons and neurophysiologists about how a muscle functions into biologically plausible statistical frameworks.

James joined Modo25 to be part of the company vision that John and Bonamy created and joined to extend and live his passion for ethical uses of machine learning and AI in ways that are scientific, validated and scalable.
