Arthur Funnell

Keen and talented data scientist with an interest in applying their skills in the healthcare sector. Recently received funding to work on PersonAI a natural language system aimed at revolutionising the dialogue systems in gaming.
 

At AstraZeneca I worked on multiple data science projects concurrently for different teams across the company. I was hired for my ability to complete projects independently and was therefore sought after by multiple teams to
provide solutions to their machine learning (ML) based issues. For example, I worked on a computer vision
project which used convolutional neural networks to monitor crystallization. I completed a full-stack web-app
for a team, where I was given an ML problem and created a state-of-the-art solution using graph neural
networks and shipped it in an interactive and modern web-app. Due to the success of this project I was offered
a PhD to pursue research into mass spectrometry.

At MEI I worked as a placement student between my A levels and first year of university. During this period I
taught myself JavaScript (JS) and JQuery. My tasks here involved making a web-app, using JS and JQuery
extensively and graphic design including animations in After Effects and Premier Pro and icon design in
PhotoShop. Here, the remit of my initial job role was extended due to my ability, my own suggestions as to how
I could add value and my overall usefulness to the team. Consequently, I was awarded an un-requested pay rise.
