AI & Machine Learning Expert | PhD, University of Cambridge | Co-Founder & CTO | 12+ Years in Applied AI

I’m an AI and machine learning expert with over 12 years of experience building, scaling, and deploying AI-powered products.

I hold a PhD from the University of Cambridge and previously founded and scaled an AI company that was acquired by Sonos.

Following the acquisition, the 50-person machine learning team I built became the foundation of Sonos' AI capabilities, giving me extensive experience taking AI beyond prototypes and into large-scale, consumer-facing products.

Today, I’m the Co-Founder and CTO of an AI health company, where I apply my expertise in AI, data science, and product development to build science-driven wellness technology focused on improving performance, energy, and everyday well-being.
