About

Hey! I’m Mark. I’m currently a Lead Product Manager specialising in the development of Machine Learning-powered products. I am based in Manchester, UK. I’ve got a background in academic Computer Science and Physics research (fields in which I hold a PhD and Masters degree respectively) as well as commercial experience in Data Science, ML engineering and product management. I tend to write about Product Management, applied Machine Learning, software and technology, with the odd sojourn into books, personal events and hints and tips for those looking to enter the field.

Articles and guides

I release regular posts on this site, typically about once per month. Here’s a few of my most popular posts to date:
