What I do

Three ways I help

AI Opportunity Assessment

Identify where AI creates real business value. Map processes, prioritise high-ROI use cases, and build a roadmap you can execute.

Clear priorities. Business case per use case. Delivery plan.

AI Initiative Delivery

Lead AI initiatives from scoping to production. Recommendation systems, semantic search, GenAI — shipped under real business constraints.

Working AI in production. Measurable impact.

Engineering Leadership

Build or scale your AI engineering capability — interim leadership, team setup, and process. Senior ownership without a permanent hire.

A team and structure that can execute independently.

Selected work

Real AI. Real outcomes.

Anonymised details from real engagements.

How I work

From first call to real results

  1. Discovery call

    We talk for 30 minutes. You explain the situation. I ask direct questions. No pitch, no proposal deck — just an honest conversation about whether and how I can help.

  2. Scoped diagnostic

    A focused 2–3 week deep dive into your current AI situation, priorities, and blockers. You get a clear picture of where to focus and what to do next.

  3. Structured engagement

    Either a defined delivery sprint or an ongoing advisory retainer — depending on what you actually need. Typically 3–6 months.

Remote-first, available for on-site where it adds value.

Max 2–3 active clients at any time — by design.

No retainer lock-in. Engagements end when the work is done.

About

Senior AI & Engineering Leader

I've spent 12+ years building AI and data systems — first as an engineer, then as a technical leader. I've been Director and Head of Engineering at fast-growing startups and scale-ups, leading teams of up to 25 engineers.

I went independent because I wanted to work on more problems, with more companies, without the overhead of a large organisation slowing things down.

I care about one thing: whether the AI actually works in the real world and moves the numbers that matter to your business.
