About

AI systems architect, trained as a mathematician.

I studied mathematics and statistics in London, then spent eight months on frontier-model post-training, writing the rubrics that decide what a good answer looks like. Today I'm Lead AI & Data Integration Architect at Zenith AI: I design and build AI systems for businesses, from the first customer conversation through architecture and build to production. I'm also technical co-founder of Kelay AI. I care about AI that can explain its decisions, and about the unglamorous integration work that keeps it running.
