Abigail Wells

Hi, I'm Abigail.

I am the Project and Innovations Officer for Innovation. I have worked at the University for a number of years in both Information Systems Services, with the Helpdesk and Innovation and Student and Education Services, with the Base. I work closely with the business to deliver innovative solutions such as Connect Lancaster, on Innovation projects and developing our mobile app iLancaster.

In my spare time, I can be found renovating our Victorian terrace with my husband or building dens in the garden with our little boy.

Hi, I'm Anthony.

I'm a Full-Stack Developer and scrum coach specialising in mobile development. I work on iLancaster among many other projects. I also explore new technologies and see how we might use them within the team.

Outside of work, I am a keen F1 and rally fan, I also enjoy tinkering with home automation and contributing to Open Source projects including React Native. When I'm not coding I might be found playing keyboard or guitar to unwind, or you might find me in-game.

David Taylor

Hi, I'm David and I'm an Apprentice Software Engineer with Innovation.

I work alongside the team here across several projects and get the amazing opportunity to learn from every team member I work with and advance my skills with each project I am involved in, as I work towards becoming a qualified developer.

Outside of work I spend a lot of time with my family and enjoy video gaming with my kids and helping them with their hobbies.

Hiya, I'm Farzanah, our Project Assistant and jack of all trades here at Innovation!

I support our collaborators and the university in using our products, handle necessary admin tasks, and, when I can, help the team test new experiments! I also spend time running outreach events and interacting with the general public.

As expected from a physics major, I spend a lot of time in blanket burritos getting lost in my fictional books. I watch Wall-E too often and also love midnight baking wherever I can!
