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.

Anthony Humphreys

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.

Farzanah Parker

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!

Xennon Edmondson

Hey! I'm Xennon, a fourth year Computer Science student currently working at ITPI in a development capacity for VR projects : )

Outside of my role here, I love cooking, bouldering, and disappearing into stories through fiction podcasts and novels.

Nai Korn

Hi, I'm Nai.

I'm a Junior Front-End Developer at the Innovation. I'm doing work on different mobile projects including ConnectLU and ILancaster. I'm currently in my second year at Lancaster studying computer science. Outside of work I enjoy kickboxing, the gym and video games.

Hi, I am Nandini

I’m a Junior UX Designer in the Innovation Team, currently pursuing a Master’s in Design Management at Lancaster University. I'm especially interested in user-centered design thinking and how design can be used as a tool to create intuitive, user-friendly solutions.

Alessandro Melcam

Hi, my name is Al.

I’m a UX UI Developer with a passion about what enhances people’s experiences when interacting with an interface. I believe a good interface and experience should not only be seamless and unnoticeable but also intuitive.

Outside of my career I enjoy repairing, DIY projects, hiking and lazy days out with my 7 month old boy.

Hi, I'm Min.

I am a 2nd year Software Engineering student and a Junior API Developer in the ITPI team. I'll be contributing to back-end development across many of the team's projects.

Jia Hao Foo

I’m Jia Hao Foo, a Junior Front-End Developer in Lancaster University’s ITPI team, where I work on modernising and enhancing the iLancaster app using React Native, Tamagui, and AWS AppSync. I enjoy solving UI challenges, refining user experiences, and learning new tools that push me to grow as a developer. Outside of coding, I’m passionate about bouldering — I like tackling tricky routes much like I do with technical problems: step by step, with persistence and creativity.
