Hello, I'mPaul Storey
Data Scientist & AI Engineer
From unraveling the mysteries of the universe as a physicist to decoding complex datasets as a machine learning engineer, I bring a rare fusion of scientific rigor, cutting-edge AI expertise, and real-world business acumen to the table. I've built and scaled a property business from the ground up over the past six years, following a decade of experience on the commodities trading floors of various global investment banks. Now, I'm obsessed with turning raw data into game-changing insights, crafting machine learning solutions and actionable AI strategies that don't just inform, but transform businesses and spark innovation.
