-    My work at the foundation has focused on:
-    - End-to-End Product Delivery: I lead the development of a real-time interactive web application for delivering coaching sessions scalably to large audiences and facilitating team collaboration.
-    - Support the professional growth of junior developers through hands-on mentorship.
-    - Designing and maintaining a number of internal tools to support the business, balancing their development with other work.
-    - Producing a course for a high profile business cohort in Oceana.
-    - Implementing Model Context Protocol for our SaaS product and tool calling for a distributed LLM inference engine. This involved working with a 3rd party project to develop a business relationship, to align our goals, and contribute our work back to the community.
+    I work across Amphora and the non-profit Foundation (sister organisations)
+    - Leading development of a real-time web application to reliably scale training sessions to large audiences and faciliate reliable team delivery. This has lead to at least a 5 fold increase in authoring productivity, with user's voluntarily adopting the product to deliver sessions.
+    - Working with the two co-founders and the Foundation's partners to understand their needs and translate them into technical solutions.
+    - Supporting junior developers through hands-on mentorship, improving their confidence and ability to  solve technical problems over a 6 month period.
+    - Delivering training to the senior leadership team of a key multi-national business client based in Australia. This allowed me to quickly identify issues and iterate the product on a daily basis -- this short cycle time meant the technical solutions could quickly track changing business needs and grow confidence in the product.
+    - Implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Amphora's SaaS product and tool calling for a novel distributed LLM inference engine, deployed over a cluster of macOS nodes. This involved working with a 3rd party project to develop a business relationship, to align our goals, and contribute our work back to the core Github project.

-    My dissertation focused on incorporating Lagrangian Mechanics into physics-informed neural networks. My key contributions include,
-    - Creating and optimising the core physics procedures in JAX to improve correctness compared to legacy implementations; allow for their use in loss functions; and reducing runtimes by a factor of $10^4$.
-    - Researching, designing, and validating training methods.
