London, updated 2026

I am a co-founder of Cogram. We build AI tools that help architects and engineers run projects.

Cogram is used by thousands of architects and engineers on projects ranging from small residential buildings to towers, airports, hospitals, and major infrastructure.

I started Cogram in 2021 with my co-founder, Ricardo Wölker. Cogram is backed by investors including Y Combinator, Initialized, and Elad Gil.

If you're interested in working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, architecture, and engineering in the physical world, we're hiring across software engineering, sales, and growth. You can apply here.

I did a PhD in theoretical physics at Oxford, working on turbulence in fusion reactors and plasma instabilities. Plasma physics is central to understanding stars and making fusion work for power generation on Earth.

Before that I worked on the astrophysics of low-mass stars in binary systems at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge.
