[01] // about

I’ve spent over a decade helping businesses actually use AI — not pilot after pilot, not demos that never reach production, but systems shipped onto messy real-world data and niche workflows, with the teams to run them.

For the past five years I’ve been building Mantis — the independent AI consultancy I co-founded, embedded with leadership teams from seed-stage startups to FTSE-listed companies, governments, foundations and research institutions worldwide. I’m CTO there.

My work sits at the intersection of research depth and shipping discipline. I read the papers, but I also write the migrations.

Working with me

I take on a small number of advisory and fractional engagements per year, alongside my CTO role — typically 10 sessions over 3 months, on-call support included. If you’re a founder or executive trying to make real AI decisions — not buy demos — say hello.
