Summary
Josh Cole is a Director and AI consultancy co-founder with 11 years of experience building and deploying production-grade ML and NLP systems across defence, agriculture, and enterprise customers. He blends hands-on data science (OCR, NER, speech-to-text, summarisation, adversarial ML, and Bayesian change-point detection) with MLOps and cloud-native delivery—containerising solutions for air-gapped and cloud environments using Docker, Kubernetes and SageMaker. At Raytheon and QinetiQ he led research teams in adversarial ML, synthetic text generation/detection and behavioural analytics, translating research prototypes into customer-ready deployments. Josh also brings product-minded practices such as Value Proposition Design and Assumption Mapping to technical bids and delivery, improving win rates and focus. Based in Manchester, he pairs a Master’s in Electrical, Electronics & Communications Engineering with practical systems engineering roots dating back to LTE and embedded electronics. A pragmatic leader, he’s equally comfortable writing model code, building secure deployment pipelines, and presenting results to customers.
