About

I build AI that works in production β€” not just in demos. With 13+ years leading complex Data & AI programmes at Ford Motor Company and CN Railways, I've spent my career at the intersection of deep technical engineering and enterprise product ownership. I hold a Master's in Computer Science specialising in AI and NLP, and have published peer-reviewed research at AAAI β€” but what drives me is taking that knowledge and shipping things that actually move the needle for businesses. At Ford, I architected and delivered a production RAG-based AI platform that became the single source of truth across engineering, product, and executive teams. I also built and governed Ford's Generative AI roadmap β€” designing LLM workflows, AI Agents, and adversarial testing frameworks that reduced system downtime and set new quality benchmarks across a global organisation of 80+ engineers. At CN Railways, I owned the data platform strategy that directly contributed $35.5M in revenue, and delivered a regulated real-time compliance dashboard under stringent US federal requirements. I'm equally comfortable sitting with engineers challenging RAG pipeline architecture as I am presenting to a C-suite on AI strategy and ROI. That bridge between technical depth and business impact is where I do my best work. Now based in Abu Dhabi, I'm focused on enterprise AI transformation roles in the UAE β€” bringing Canadian-standard delivery rigour and global AI expertise to organisations investing seriously in Generative AI, data platforms, and intelligent automation. πŸ“© Open to: AI Product Lead | Senior Director Data & AI | Head of AI/PMO roles
