FUZZY - Key Persons
Andy has spent close to 30 years in software engineering building scalable and resilient web-based systems. In fact, he and Tom worked together back when they were whipper snappers (and most of us we're still in school)! In his spare time, you'll find him building and fixing things and tinkering away on his latest project. He's also a keen musician, with a staggering guitar collection.
Danny has spent the last eight years as a PhD student then Research Associate in Machine Learning at the University of Manchester. He's worked across a range of areas, covering recurrent neural networks, ensemble learning, uncertainty quantification, and explainability. Outside of work, you'll likely find Danny either lifting weights or finding a wall to climb. We hear he's pretty good at baking too! Danny uses JetBrains

Jon completed his PhD at the University of Manchester, where he was sponsored by and worked closely with BBC R&D.
