01  About

AI Consultant & Systems Architect

Business Problems → Technology → Systems → Validation

I work between the business problem and the technology. I don’t start with “how can we add AI?” I start with: what is actually slowing the business down?

  • Understand the business problem first
  • Identify repetitive work and operational bottlenecks
  • Decide where AI, software or automation actually makes sense
  • Design the system and evaluate models, tools, providers and infrastructure
  • Consider permissions, governance, security and cost
  • Prototype and validate the architecture

Prototyping is part of the process: I build enough to test whether the design holds.

Digital Growth & Performance Marketing

I work with existing digital products to improve distribution, user acquisition, content, performance, creator partnerships and monetization.

SaaSAppsGamesAI productsAI agentsDigital services

I start from the product and who it is for, then work out where distribution, acquisition and monetization are actually breaking.

BUILDING
AI ECOSYSTEM & GOVERNANCE INFRASTRUCTURE

AI tools, agents, models and workflows are fragmenting. Businesses need a way to discover, use and manage them without losing control.
