About

Maths first, then machines.

I started with differential equations and climate models, and moved into data science when I saw that the same rigour could change how real organisations decide. Over the last decade I went from building models to building the platforms and the teams that run them.

Today I lead the architecture of an AI Factory in a heavily regulated sector. My focus is GenAI that is governed, sovereign and measurable, and that gives domain experts a real voice in how it behaves.
