Sandy is a passionate and talented developer who I have had the pleasure of working with directly. His attention to detail and focus on customer experience is a great compliment to his technical abilities. Sandy is also a very thoughtful and considerate team member and through delivering to deadlines always had time for people and creating a safe space for hard discussions. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

David Colls

Sandy is an adept problem-solver, consistently demonstrating the ability to grasp and navigate complex domains. We worked together on multiple engineering applications, and Sandy’s commitment to high-quality software was always evident. In addition to software development, we worked together on strategy, informational and capability development content for clients. Sandy clearly articulates ideas and data in a compelling manner, making connections with everyday concepts and examples, effectively bridging the gap between technical detail and audience understanding. A standout achievement of Sandy’s was leading the development of a machine learning capability for a client. The project met and exceeded business expectations, while demonstrating what was possible in ML governance, showcasing Sandy’s technical leadership and ability to deliver results. Beyond technical expertise, Sandy is a passionate advocate for AI ethics. One notable initiative spearheaded by Sandy was the quiz game "What could go wrong," aimed at raising awareness about bias in computer models. This initiative exemplifies Sandy's dedication to fostering responsible AI development and ethical considerations, and his approach to making ideas accessible to a wide audience. In summary, Sandy is a multifaceted professional with a keen intellect, a flair for innovation, a strong sense of team, and a steadfast commitment to impactful contributions. I have always enjoyed working alongside Sandy and have no doubt that he will continue to make waves in any future endeavours.
