I'm a Senior Digital Analyst at 8 Million Stories. Most of my time goes into building reporting systems in BigQuery and Python, measurement pipelines in GA4 and GTM, and LLM-assisted workflows for classification, summarisation, and reporting QA. Recent client work has been in media, financial services, consumer brands, insurance, pharma, and personal finance.
Outside that I write for Cointelegraph and AlphaWire, mostly on AI agents, crypto-security, and quantum risk. A few of those pieces have been picked up as expert commentary; the publications page has the full record.
I studied computer science at Stirling and have worked in analytics since. Most of the job is judgement — what the numbers can tell you and what they can't. I'd rather ship one reporting workflow a team trusts than three they don't.
