AI Developer & Artist

I'm a Product Leader and technologist based in London, passionate about bridging the gap between artificial intelligence and human-centered design. With extensive experience leading AI and data-driven products, I combine technical expertise with strong product vision to create impactful solutions that enhance human capabilities rather than replace them. My work focuses on developing AI applications that transform user experiences, particularly in the realm of learning and development. I'm fascinated by the potential of machine learning to augment human potential, having led the development of multiple GenAI applications and AI-powered coaching systems.

Outside of my product leadership role, I'm an avid artist with a love for drawing and digital creation. I'm currently exploring game development, channeling my creativity into designing levels and building immersive worlds. This journey into game design allows me to combine my technical background with my artistic passion, as I work on my first games and experiment with different digital art techniques. When I'm not leading product strategy or collaborating with data scientists, you'll find me sketching new game concepts, exploring design principles, or experimenting with digital art tools. My background in Philosophy and Liberal Arts & Sciences brings a unique perspective to both my technical innovation and creative endeavors, helping me create more thoughtful and human-centered solutions.

Current Focus

I'm diving deep into the world of digital art and game development, exploring the creative possibilities of interactive media. My current projects include developing my first games, where I'm focusing on level design and world-building to create immersive player experiences. I'm particularly excited about combining traditional drawing skills with digital art techniques to develop unique visual styles for my games. While continuing to lead AI and data innovation in my professional role, I'm passionate about finding ways to merge my technical expertise with my artistic vision. Through game development, I'm discovering new ways to create meaningful and engaging experiences that bring together the best of both worlds.
