Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZak Morgan is a Product Manager and PhD candidate in Foundational AI at UCL with eight years of hands-on software and research experience across backend systems, embedded hardware integration, and AI-driven projects. He leads the UCL API team—setting vision, managing DevOps on AWS, recruiting and mentoring student developers, and continuing to contribute code in Django—after rising from backend developer to project lead. His research and engineering work spans thermal and multimodal AI, high-performance C++ facial landmark models, and mobile ML deployments that bridge academic research with practical applications. Zak also teaches and mentors, helping students prepare for top-tier STEM programs while running hackathons to grow UCL’s developer community. Outside work he’s an avid climber who channels the same problem-solving and team-building energy into competitive bouldering and student society leadership. An uncommon strength is his ability to move between low-level hardware-aware product development and higher-level product strategy while keeping security, delivery cadence, and stakeholder alignment front of mind.
