Hi there!

I am a data scientist and behavioural economist, developing technology that helps consumers make better decisions. Most of my applied work is in banking and retail finance. In collaboration with my colleagues and other experts, I've been lucky enough to work on policies and digital tools that save people time, money and hassle. My current focus is using AI and personalised data representations to drive smarter financial decisions.

Linking up

I'm aways keen to connect on LinkedIn and Twitter.

Some of my experiments with data are on GitHub.

I'm also a Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics.

Research

My research interests are household/consumer finance, consumer-facing AI, evidence-based policy, experimental methods and social influences on decision-making. Do get in touch if you are after a copy of a paper or a dataset for replication.
