Emma Smith

Emma Smith has a diverse work experience in the field of software engineering and machine learning. Emma is currently working as a Senior Software Engineer at Myrtle.ai since March 2023. Prior to this, they worked at Fetch.ai from 2019 to 2022, where they held two roles. As a Lead Machine Learning Engineer, they led a team in developing Colearn Paint, a system that created non-fungible tokens from machine-learning generated artworks. Emma also designed and deployed the smart contracts for users to bid for tickets and stake tokens. As a Machine Learning Engineer, Emma implemented deep learning algorithms in C++ for Fetch.ai's custom blockchain, enabling neural networks to be trained and executed within smart contracts.

Before their time at Fetch.ai, Emma worked at the University of Cambridge from 2014 to 2019, where they held multiple roles. As a Research Assistant (Software Engineer) for the Automatic Statistician project (AutoStat), they designed and implemented a system for loading datasets, running algorithms, and generating natural-language reports. Emma also built a web service for AutoStat, which included designing a web API and managing a database. Additionally, Emma worked on a bioinformatics project in comparative genomics, where they labeled genes in bacterial species using sequence similarities and clustering algorithms.

Emma's early work experience includes a role as a Senior Software Engineer at Audio Analytic from 2011 to 2013. Emma refactored the C++ API for sound model matching and developed machine-learning algorithms for sound models. Their contributions played a significant role in securing contracts with international security camera firms.

Overall, Emma Smith has a strong background in software engineering and machine learning, with experience in leading teams, designing and implementing systems, and deploying smart contracts.

Emma Smith earned their Bachelor of Arts degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge, where they studied from 2006 to 2009. Following that, they pursued a Master of Science degree in Physics, also at the University of Cambridge, from 2009 to 2010.
