I’m Steve Moss — a scientist, technologist, and engineer.
I grew up in a small seaside town on the Yorkshire coast, spent years working the doors as a bouncer, and eventually found my way into science and technology. That path led me to a PhD in Computational Genomics — the discipline at the intersection of computer science, statistics, and molecular biology — studying how life encodes and transmits information at scale. My research focused on bioinformatics and molecular evolution at the Universities of Hull and York.
That foundation in large-scale data, systems thinking, and scientific rigour led me naturally into Site Reliability Engineering — the discipline of applying software engineering to infrastructure and operations. SRE is about keeping complex distributed systems available, performant, and resilient; treating reliability not as an afterthought, but as a feature.
I am now focused on agentic AI — building systems that can perceive their environment, reason about it, and take action with minimal human intervention. I use tools like Claude and Gemini to construct autonomous agents that reason, write code, and solve complex problems. Underpinning all of it is reliability engineering: you can’t run stochastic models on fragile systems. I work in Python, Go, and Rust.
What draws me back, consistently, is the intersection of all of this with genomics and personalised medicine — applying autonomous systems to biological data in ways that simply weren’t tractable before.
When I’m not arguing with an LLM or fixing a production outage, I’m a Dad, a husband, and a mental health advocate. I also enjoy boxing, films, and gaming.
