👤
SeniorAshton Six is a computer scientist in London with 11 years of experience building high-performance systems, research tooling, and developer-facing infrastructure.

Previously he led engineering and DevOps for ID verification at Thirdfort, founded and sold a server rental service used by AI researchers, and conducted independent physics research that produced a novel quantum field simulation method. Ashton combines deep low-level optimisation skills with product-minded leadership across startups and research teams, and has a track record of shipping tools that bridge cutting-edge research and production workloads. An uncommon strength is shipping both solo research prototypes and production-grade systems that scale to real-world users (e.g., infrastructure serving thousands of AI researchers and verification systems covering ~50% of a national market).
