Will Thomson

Software Engineer

Hi! I'm Will. I'm a software engineer based in London. I'm currently working at PolyAI, an artificial intelligence company revolutionising conversational AI with natural language processing and large language models.

I hold a masters degree in Computer Science, from Imperial College London and a bachelors degree in Geography from Durham University. I'm passionate about creating things, so I often spend my free time building web applications and experimenting with new technologies.

I've been developing professional software for over 3 years, working across a variety of front-end and back-end engineering roles. I have experience with web development technologies, primarily React, Typescript and NextJS. But I am also familiar with several machine learning libraries, cloud infrastructure tools, and data storage solutions.
