Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFelix Richards is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience, currently at Oracle in Bristol while pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at Swansea University focused on convolutional networks for low surface brightness telescope imagery. He blends production-grade engineering—spanning cloud-native tooling, Kubernetes, and ML pipelines—with deep research in computer vision and astronomy. His background includes building ML and data-cleaning tooling for BI cloud services and developing static analysis and data-scraping solutions during an earlier Oracle internship. Comfortable moving models from research into robust, containerised deployments, he combines mathematical rigor from a BSc in Mathematics with hands-on deep learning expertise. An investigator at heart, he applies scientific curiosity to solve noisy, real-world imaging problems that sit at the intersection of AI and observational astronomy.
