As ML/AI Lead at CounterCurrent, I have driven development of two core products: Hydra, the company’s AI ocean forecasting system, and Odysseus, its intelligent route-optimisation engine for maritime decision support. I have led Hydra almost end-to-end, including large-scale foundation forecasting models on AWS, modern generative modelling approaches for spatiotemporal forecasting, and AI-driven data assimilation, while also playing a major role in the wider product stack, including routing systems and the web application. Alongside technical development, I help shape the technical roadmap, supervise team members, contribute to grants and programs, and engage with customers and investors.
