I am a Senior Research Scientist at Google DeepMind with a background in machine learning, computer science and competitive programming. I love doing purposeful work that helps others! My focus is on music generation, finding useful signals in large datasets and human evaluation studies. I’ve been an audio and music ML enthusiast since 2015 and am thrilled to be developing tools that enable music enthusiasts of all expertise levels to learn about, engage with and make their own music!

Outside work, I love cycling, rowing, travelling, playing/recording the piano/guitar and chasing my favourite bands on tour. 🎼 I sometimes write poetry and lyrics for (ever-)future songs :)
