FULL BIO:  Jamie Munro, Volunteer AI & Technology Columnist

Jamie Munro is a London-based technology consultant specialising in Artificial Intelligence (AI).

A “Gen Xer” tech entrepreneur, he is also the founder of AnyModel.co, a multi-model subscription service offering access, with side-by-side comparative capabilities, to a wide range of currently-leading Artificial Intelligence (AI) models. AnyModel’s mission is to provide users with the ability to utilise multiple models simultaneously, to achieve richer and more accurate results.

“Technology-obsessed since birth”, at age 9 Munro rebuilt his father’s Win98 Dell Dimension computer, and by age 13 had taught himself programming, mastering Java. He attained his Computer Science BSc at the University of Surrey, completing a thesis on autonomous mapping with a robotic swarm. He went on to study for his Masters at Scotland's University of St Andrews, where he focused on computational and artificial intelligence.

He then worked corporately as a computer consultant prior to forming Munro Research, his own firm. Munro has helped major brands such as Porsche, International Airline Group (IAG), British Business Bank and Vodafone achieve improved operational efficiency through the automation of strategically-selected processes.

His software consultancy projects have also seen him work on complex financial systems for a major investment bank, as part of which he worked on the redevelopment of a legacy IBOR (Investor Book Of Record) system into a modern cloud-native microservice-based architecture.
