Selected Professional Experience

  • Joint Biosecurity Centre - Lead Data Scientist
    Jillur led an expert team of globally-leading mathematicians, epidemiologists and technology professionals responsible for modelling the global transmission of COVID-19, and simulating & evaluating the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) through the development of bleeding-edge machine learning-powered disease modelling systems, where the resultant data products were directly consumed by members of the Scientific Group for Emergencies (SAGE) and the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for England in order to better protect public health.
  • Government (UK) - Lead Artificial Intelligence Engineer
    Jillur led an expert team of intelligence officers, analysts and subject matter experts responsible for combatting Dark Web-enabled serious organised crime, including child sexual exploitation & abuse (CSEA) and human trafficking, through the analysis of anonymous decentralised networks and cryptographic protocols.
  • Local Government (UK) - Lead Data Scientist & Java Engineer
    Jillur designed and built an award-winning artificial intelligence system capable of automatically detecting, classifying and prioritising cases of potholes and fly-tipping in real-time through the development of a bespoke deep convolutional neural architecture and neural interface capable of processing images at 45fps with less than 25ms latency delivering up to 40 detection events per second, integrated with a bespoke Android mobile app and GPS location services.
