Phil Steadman.
Research into practice.
An AI PhD researcher, technical scrum master and IT engineer bringing a structured, test-led approach to technical work.
The work behind the approach
Define the task.
Challenge the assumptions.
Phil’s ongoing PhD research focuses on AI-driven malware detection, including image recognition and the practical constraints of small computing and edge systems.
His technical delivery and engineering work informs an approach built around clear requirements, reusable task recipes, acceptance tests and an explicit definition of done. Each recipe sets the role, context and constraints; outputs are challenged and checked against the intended result.
Steadnet begins with the customer’s ask, then defines the expertise, scope and delivery arrangements needed. That may mean an individual joining the customer’s team, a focused engineering project or a Steadnet-led delivery team.
