Thomas Stirling

Hi, I’m Tom. I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Leeds (MEng & BSc, First-Class Honours).

I’ve had the chance to build software across defence, security, healthcare, gambling & entertainment, and fintech. My greatest interests lie in AI, but I also like working on scalable, high-throughput and efficient distributed systems.

Outside of engineering, I enjoy hiking (mainly in bad weather), cycling, and gaming (my playtime is too much to be discussed).

Right now I’m mostly researching how LLMs and agents are advancing and taking an interest in graph engineering with agents. I have a personal project called Bamboo that I’m looking to experiment on.
