Hi, I'm Josh.
Data Scientist & Applied ML Engineer.
I build practical ML systems for messy real-world data — from high-recall sepsis classifiers to RAG agents and transformers from scratch. I care a lot about interpretability and shipping simple solutions to complex problems.
What I'm working on right now
AI Engineer Intern · Prentice Wealth Management
CurrentApplying ML and LLM tooling to wealth-management workflows — building practical AI features end-to-end from data to deployment.
Three projects I'd love to talk through
Sepsis Onset Prediction
High-recall ML pipeline to flag early sepsis onset in ICU patients. Tuned for the cost-asymmetry of false negatives, with SHAP-based feature attribution to keep predictions inspectable for clinicians.
XHAIL — Symbolic Reasoning System↗
Extended an Inductive Logic Programming framework (eXtended Hybrid Abductive Inductive Learning) in Python + Clingo. Fixed prior bugs, added new functionality, and explored how rule-based learning improves explainability over black-box models.
Decoder-Only Transformer, From Scratch↗
Built a GPT-style decoder-only language model from first principles in PyTorch — attention, training loop, tokenisation — to actually understand the internals rather than just import them.
A wider sample
Twin AI↗
Retrieval-Augmented Generation chatbot built on Llama + LangChain. Document chunking, embedding store, conversation memory.
Marine Conservation App↗
Mobile app for divers to ID marine species and log sightings. Built for the Bristol University Diving Society — won 1st in cohort for software engineering.
AI Agents — Scotland Yard↗
Adversarial game-playing agent (minimax + heuristics) and pathfinding implementations for the Scotland Yard board game.
Game of Life on AWS↗
Distributed-systems coursework — parallelised Conway's Game of Life across AWS instances and benchmarked across configurations.
Kaggle↗
Notebooks and competition submissions — practising clean EDA, feature engineering, and disciplined model selection.
Local Weaver Gallery↗
Production Next.js site for a traditional weaver — designed, built, and deployed end-to-end.
