Who am I

Background, mission and the experience that shaped this work.

I'm a multi ethnic and loving son, brother, friend, father and founder.

I have a degree in International Development, Politics and Social Anthropology.

I run a Human Centered AI adoption company.

This technology is here to stay, nobody owns AI it's just a technology. But we all have a social responsibility to our future generations to understand it and demand that our governments heavily govern its development.

I spent a decade managing in hospitality serving people, after I fell seriously ill I was let down by the fragmented NHS system which due to its inefficiency unnecessarily dragged out my illness for 2 years.

Today I am a self-taught AI-native, architect, software developer, devops engineer, cloud engineer and product manager - working at the intersection of AI and people, society and culture, building tools and services that support others through the same kinds of struggles I came through myself.

Our company aims to do one thing — create the software and systems that local authorities can implement to ensure services for social good — ran by real people — can support those in need and lift them out of misery.

  • fix inefficiency
  • eliminate uncertainty
  • reduce technical overload
  • improve the systems that support society
