Senior Analyst by day. I spend the rest of my time translating what's actually happening in AI into something enterprise teams can act on. Most AI content is either too technical for decision-makers or too vague to be useful. CTOs, CISOs, and operations leaders don't need hype. They need to know what's procurement risk, what's genuine workflow opportunity, and what's still just noise. That's what I research and write about. Daily posts on LinkedIn. Deeper analysis on Substack. My background is in IT operations and Lean Six Sigma, which means I approach AI the way I'd approach any operational problem: what breaks, what scales, and what actually changes how work gets done. On the technical side, I work with machine learning models, RAG architecture, and AI agent systems. I have hands-on experience building anomaly detection and predictive ML models using XGBoost and Random Forest — work that is currently under patent review at my organisation. I also build AI agent workflows and multi-model pipelines independently, which is what keeps my writing grounded in how these systems actually behave rather than how they are marketed.
