Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolReece Walsh is a co-founder and research software engineer with eight years of experience building practical, compliant research infrastructure that lets scientists design and run studies without coding or heavy IT support. Leading the Newcastle University spinout Indacas, he’s transforming a university project into a commercial no-code SaaS that handles audit trails, encryption, and regulatory compliance so researchers can focus on discovery. Technically hands-on, Reece contributes full-stack features to open-source projects (including gamepad and web controls for nxbt) and brings machine learning engineering expertise to product development. His background blends academic rigor—a Distinction MSc in Computer Science—with operational experience in standards-driven environments, having implemented ISO-accredited management systems earlier in his career. Notably, he pairs a developer’s curiosity for tinkering with consumer hardware with a founder’s discipline for delivering auditable, scalable research tools.
