i.AI (Data Science at No 10 Downing St)

I spent a short contract working for Number 10 Downing Street and the Cabinet Office, where I was creating tech to improve the efficiency of UK central government.

While I can’t go into too much detail about the specific projects I built - I can talk a little about the experience of working in Number 10.

I took three main lessons from my time there:

  1. Number 10 is both hilariously ordinary and hilariously extraordinary - and often simultaneously.
  2. Larry the Cat is an excellent diplomat.
  3. There are some incredibly bright people working there. And also some elected officials 😉

they’ll allow anyone in these days
