About Me
I’m Rory Scott — an applied AI practitioner and data scientist based between London, Glasgow, and Bristol. I have a background in public sector data science (UK DFID / FCDO), and I currently work at the intersection of AI tooling, engineering, and strategy.
I use this space to share things I’m working on: personal prototypes and tools, thoughts on applied AI and tech strategy, and data science in practice. You’ll also find the occasional link to music and art that doesn’t neatly fit into a GitHub repo.
I’m especially interested in how we build AI systems that are useful, interpretable, and human-centred — and how we make the outputs of those systems easier to navigate, understand, and trust.
Recently I’m a particular fan of what I call “Day Builds” — short-form projects completed in a day or less, with heavy use of AI tooling. Two favourites are below.
Selected Day Builds
QNTM Exhibit — A generative quantum-art visualisation built with TypeScript and Cursor in a single day. The project explores how agentic front-end development changes the pace and feel of creative coding. Read the write-up.
XY Sonification — A Streamlit app that maps 2D coordinate input to musical parameters, turning spatial data into sound. Built to explore the overlap between data science tooling and musical experimentation.
