Ensuring delivery for data & AI programs

I'm an AI & Data Professional at Deloitte, ensuring delivery of complex data & AI programs for major financial-services, insurance, and energy clients — managing stakeholders from C-suite to engineers and turning ambiguous business problems into shipped outcomes.

Outside of client work, I ship a lot: RiftCompare, a live price-comparison platform for the Riftbound trading card game; Email Scanner, a privacy-first plain-English Gmail search tool; and some personal R&D in quantitative systems. I like problems where milliseconds and basis points matter.

I studied Data Science & Software at UNSW, and I'm always up for talking shop on delivery, stakeholder management, and applied data & AI.
