👋 About Me

I am a data scientist with a strong passion for explainable modelling, transport planning, and economic policy analysis. I have a particular interest in how mass transport systems connect communities and support economic growth.

I believe that transport networks are fundamental to creating more accessible, productive, and inclusive cities. Growing up in Norwich, England, I often wandered along old railway lines that had been converted into pedestrian paths, constantly imagining what they would have been like in their heyday. It was from that early curiosity that my passion for transport truly began.

I created this page, and the projects it showcases, to help shape the conversation around transport. I believe discussions should not be limited to simple revenue-and-cost calculations for new projects. Instead, we should focus on the broader impact: the benefits to the communities affected and the wider economic opportunities that well-planned transport networks can generate.

I hope my data-first approach can inspire others to think differently about transport. If my work resonates with you, or if you would like to discuss ideas, projects, or collaborations, please feel free to reach out—I'd love to connect.
