About

I built the UK Government's first public LLM-powered service. It's live on every British Embassy website, transforming 10-day email queues into 5-second responses while saving £3.6m. I work across the full AI stack - from technical architecture to board-level strategy to individual coaching. PhD Computer Science, 12 years as university lecturer, 20 years shipping products.
