About me
I lead the FT's 'computational journalism' team — a group of reporters, engineers and data scientists who trial new story-finding techniques. We use data engineering and a range of modern techniques - including AI, machine learning and satellite technology - to tell stories that are beyond the reach of more traditional journalism.
I joined the FT in 2008, where I have worked as a leader writer, education correspondent and comment editor. I spent seven years away - including five as BBC Newsnight's public policy editor.
I have won awards from the Royal Television Society, the British Journalism Awards, the Royal Statistical Society and the Harold Wincott Foundation, as well a BAFTA nomination and a visiting fellowship to the Institute of Education.
