Behind the work
A little context.
Owen Cheung
AI Engineer · Bath, UK
I'm Owen, an AI Engineer at LexisNexis Risk Solutions and a final-year Computer Science & AI student at the University of Bath. I stayed on as a contractor after my industrial placement to develop a self-initiated prototype into a funded internal pilot.
I enjoy the freedom to investigate a problem, explore emerging methods and put promising ideas to the test. My work connects representation-learning research with practical AI engineering: from graph and contrastive methods to recoverable, human-governed systems.
Away from the screen I snowboard with Bath Snowsports, pull a lot of espresso, and build mechanical keyboards — which is how I ended up typing at 193 wpm (and designing TypeForge).
