About

I’m a Biomedical Science MSci graduate with NHS clinical laboratory experience, plus research and evaluation work spanning oxygen/hypoxia cellular response models, molecular biology, and data analysis. I’m especially interested in how biological systems change under oxygen availability, and I’ve used platforms like Seahorse XF, Resipher, and PHERAstar to turn experimental outputs into clear, actionable insights.

I also work in AI evaluation and biology prompt assessment, focusing on accuracy, relevance, and instruction-following—using biomedical knowledge to identify errors and provide structured feedback. In both lab and digital environments, I’m known for careful sample handling, quality assurance, troubleshooting, and clear technical communication, so stakeholders get reliable results quickly.
