Read moreAbout me - AI Strategist,
Architect & Builder
I help organisations turn ambitious ideas into real-world impact by combining deep technical expertise with strategic leadership.
Over the past 15+ years, I've founded companies, scaled engineering teams, and advised startups and global organisations alike. My focus is on Artificial Intelligence, Software Solution Architecture, and guiding teams through Digital Transformation.
I bring together hands-on knowledge of cloud, data, and compliance with experience in technology consulting and business strategy— enabling companies to innovate with confidence.
Whether it's architecting AI-driven platforms, leading cross-functional teams, or shaping long-term technology roadmaps, I thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution. My goal is always the same: to deliver solutions that create measurable value.
My career journey has taken me through diverse roles—Enterprise Architect at uMotif, Director at Qi Interactive, Founder of Qandai, and Associate Partner at GW+Co. I've been responsible for system architecture, quality management, and solution design. I've led SDLC implementations aligned with Agile methodologies and expanded engineering teams fourfold.
Beyond consulting, I'm the "dad" in Oli and Dad—Amazon-published colouring books where I integrated Adobe Illustrator into an AI pipeline. I'm always exploring new ways technology can create value.

My approach - Strategy meets execution
I believe the best solutions come from combining strategic thinking with hands-on technical expertise. Here's what drives my work.
- Impact-driven. Every engagement starts with a clear understanding of business outcomes. I focus on solutions that create measurable value, not just technical elegance.
- Hands-on expertise. With active involvement in coding—primarily in TypeScript, Node.js, and Python—I maintain the technical depth to make informed architectural decisions.
- Collaborative partnership. I work alongside your team, transferring knowledge and building capabilities that last well beyond our engagement.
