Method
Pragmatist by method, ontological by orientation. The instruments serve the question — never the reverse.
Purpose-built taxonomies for dynamic, open-source environments — the subject of my doctoral research at Rennes School of Business.
Entity resolution, relational inference, and provenance preservation at scale. Neo4j-certified delivery.
Multilingual extraction and semantic retrieval across curated, evidence-tagged corpora.
Synthetic Aperture Radar (all-weather, denied terrain), multispectral imagery, VIIRS nightlight analysis.
Every assertion traced to its source artefact; chain of custody preserved against adversarial review.
Quantitative scale married to qualitative discernment, neither permitted to overstate the other.
Formation
A doctoral candidate; a practitioner; an engineer at the bench when the work demands it.
Appointments
An office of service, held in a personal capacity. Operational particulars remain under confidence.
Citizenship & Provenance
A British national, resident of Portugal. The Atlantic is a working sea; the Pyrenees are weekend country.
Engagements delivered across four continents.
Outlook
A code of work. Old discipline; new instruments.
Pragmatist by method. Traditionalist by temperament. I work to a code that values intellectual honesty, evidentiary humility, and the dignity of the people whose lives our findings touch. Duc in altum.
