Before joining Thoughtriver in May 2017, I was a web developer in the adult education sector creating SAAS platforms and learning materials, mostly for teaching literacy and numeracy. Here I was probably considered "full stack" but my specialism lay within database and back-end code.
Even though I am not from a legal or AI background, I believe we are only just beginning to see what AI can bring. I see it much the same as the advent of computing 60 odd years ago where this brand new technology arrived, no-one really knew what it was capable of or what it meant for everyone else - but eventually it changed everything, mostly for the better, except where it was abused of course. What I can definitely say is I am really pleased to have found a place in what is undoubtably a growth industry where I can also grow and learn myself!
When I do find time for it, I like to keep up to date with advances in science and technology, particularly physics, astronomy and computers. I also practice photography, particularly of nature while avoiding taking photos of people. I am told I am good at it, but I only see what could be better - probably that problem solving developer leaking into my hobbies! I also waste time the way many people switch off with TV, films and PC games.
