Connor Coull
Software Engineer Scotland
Hello.
I'm a recent Computing Science Graduate based in Scotland, working towards a concentrated focus in the design, development, and deployment of machine learning systems. Currently I am building agents, databases, and data aggregation systems for product and AI reliability in the finance industry. Interested in emerging research in the Safety, Security, and Certainty of AI. I have a background in Graph Neural Networks for security applications and an interest in LLMs, swarm AI, and Neuromorphic Engineering.
Projects.
- TGEA — Masters thesis. A novel Temporal Graph-Edge Autoencoder built on TGN (Rossi et al., 2020) to detect malicious network flows in Critical National Infrastructure.
- Flashcards — As part of my continued independent learning I built a flashcard app to strengthen active recall. A scalable web application secured behind Google-based auth to restrict access to approved individuals.
- Homepage — Recently revamped my personal website homepage to be more integrated with art & nature, and a better representation of myself and my work.
Currently Reading.
- Language Models (Mostly) Know What They Know — Kadavath et al., 2022
- Fundamental Limitations of Pointwise Defences of LLM Finetuning APIs — Davies et al., 2025
- Measuring what Matters: Construct Validity in Large Language Model Benchmarks — Bean et al., 2025
- Security Challenges in AI Agent Deployment: Insights from a Large Scale Public Competition — Zou et al., 2025
- Semantic Uncertainty: Linguistic Invariances for Uncertainty Estimation in Natural Language Generation — Kuhn et al., 2023
Outside of my work
My interest is split between the arts and the outdoors. I am very passionate about music, film (especially horror), and art. When I have time I like to take advantage of Scotland's beauty and go on long hikes and coastal walks, which inspired the choice of La Pointe de La Hève as the backdrop of this site. I'd recommend:
- Album — WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA by Slayyyter
- Film — Annihilation
- Painting — The Chalk Cutting by Arthur Melville
