I build AI, direct AI teams, and kick the tyres on AI for investors.

Fifteen years taking AI from research into production, at enterprise scale and under regulation. I set the strategy, own the architecture, and still write production code weekly.

Three doors

One career. Three ways in.

AI leadership

Hands-on CAIO and AI director work: enterprise GenAI from use case to production to measurable return. Multi-agent systems, real-time voice AI, sovereign LLM platforms — I still write production code weekly.

Track record

AI diligence for investors

Pre-investment diligence sprints and portfolio AI reviews for venture and private equity funds. Is the AI real? Does the moat compound? Will the compliance posture survive contact with regulators?

How funds engage me

Sovereign enterprise AI

Head of Artificial Intelligence at Massnad: white-label enterprise AI that runs entirely inside the client's own cloud tenant — built for UAE PDPL and GCC data residency, for banking, energy, and government.

The work

The method behind all three comes from a previous career as a police sergeant.

Assume nothing. Believe nothing. Confirm everything.
