Research and development
Featured project: PictoGlyph
An ongoing MSc research project exploring how computer vision, machine learning and rich contextual metadata can support the study and interpretation of ancient writing systems.
It brings together Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL and Python-based ML experimentation, with an emphasis on transparent evidence and uncertainty.

Machine Learning Approaches for Predicting Spinal Disorders
A comparative machine-learning study of biomechanical spinal data, exploring classification methods, feature relationships and explainability with SHAP. This is academic research, not a clinically validated diagnostic system.
Also featured is an academic Transformer experiment exploring text-based emotion classification, alongside early-stage AI evidence evaluation and scientific data research.
ProvenanceGraph is another research prototype, exploring traceable artefact histories and how recovery evidence can be checked.
