Your role, and what team are you in?

Solutions Consultant Analyst – Implementations Team.

Sum up your role at Quorso in a sentence.

I work with our clients to ensure that Quorso is configured to their exact requirements and that their data flows into the app as seamlessly as possible.

What’s your favorite part of your job?

My favorite part of what I do is being able to tackle very open-ended questions in new and interesting ways.

Where were you before you joined Quorso, and what did you do there?

I began my career on the Ocado Retail data and insights graduate scheme. During this, I worked on the logic to decide how to reward star reviewers and then went on to cover longer-term projects for their customer hub.

What are your top three career highlights so far?

1 – Creating a text classification model to streamline one of our client’s data flows

2 – Building an algorithm for rewarding reviews left on products

3 – Forecasting the long-term value of outbound calls

What do you geek out on – at Quorso, and in non-work life?

Quorso: Anything that requires an ML model.
Outside of work: Airplanes.

Where would you like Quorso to be in five years?

Rolled out with most (if not all!) of the largest retailers globally. The product is both powerful and flexible and I believe it can be indispensable in day-to-day store operations.

If you didn’t do the job you do now, what would be your second choice?

Pretty much any analytical role. I love working with large amounts of data, especially when you uncover behaviors you wouldn’t expect.

If you could retire tomorrow, how would you spend your life?

I would probably move to the countryside and set up a small shop selling local produce.

How did you discover Quorso, and what made you want to work there?

Phil reached out to me one day on LinkedIn. After looking into how Quorso works and Matt demonstrating the app to me I was hooked. Additionally, the chance to be a part of a small rapidly growing team was, and still is, really exciting.

Which Quorsan makes you laugh the most?

Pretty much all of them – it depends on the day!

Which Quorsan inspires you the most?

Matt.

What’s been your pandemic/lockdown/work from home guilty pleasure?

Buying myself lots of new tech to play with.

What’s your secret for getting great work done?

Noise-cancelling headphones and a fast-paced playlist.

How do you relax when life gets really hectic?

A weekend take-away and a film with my housemates

Predict a future use case for Quorso that we’re not working on yet.

I think we could do something really interesting in online grocery, particularly around conversion rate and website layout.

If you could go back to yourself when you were starting out your career, what one piece of advice would you give to yourself?

Version control all your code – you’ll thank me later.
