Summary
John Cartmell is a data-driven software engineer and metamathematician with over three decades of deep experience in CASE tools, laboratory automation, and scientific instrumentation. He has led engineering teams and product development—most recently as Head of Information Systems at Cyprotex—delivering automated workflows, rule-based analytical processing, and predictive pharmacokinetics software tied to lab robotics and mass spectrometry. Earlier roles as Technical Director and Chief Designer reflect a long history building meta-CASE platforms and web-enabling legacy systems, plus inventing Toolbuilder-style environments. He holds a D.Phil in Mathematical Logic from the University of Oxford and applies formal, mathematical thinking to practical software and data-modeling problems. An active maintainer of entity/data modeling tools and an online book author, he bridges research, open-source practice, and commercial productisation. Notably, his work combines abstract metamathematical models with hands-on automation in high-throughput scientific contexts.
