About

Building technology with purpose

For over a decade, I've been at the forefront of AI innovation - from early breakthroughs in image recognition and recommendation systems (later adopted by Facebook, Amazon, and Google) to recent ventures in community platforms and conversational AI.

As a Fractional CTO, I drop into companies to quickly identify opportunities, optimise processes, and guide technical teams - ensuring ideas don't just stay on the whiteboard but become market-ready products.

My approach blends deep technical expertise with a human-first mindset. I believe the best technology serves people, not the other way around. Whether architecting systems that scale to millions of users or mentoring developers to reach their potential, my focus is always on creating sustainable value.

Beyond the technical, I'm drawn to ventures that reconnect us with what matters - sustainability, community, and the natural world. I've co-directed wellness festivals, built platforms for conscious communities, and consistently sought to bridge the gap between technological advancement and human flourishing.

I hold an MSc in Software Engineering (Distinction) from University College London and a joint honours degree in Computing & Philosophy from the University of Leeds. This combination of technical rigour and philosophical inquiry shapes how I approach every problem.
