AI Executive & Scientist
I work at the intersection of cognitive science and artificial intelligence, building systems for complex domains where human expertise matters. I have a PhD in computational modelling of human memory from the University of Edinburgh, and my published research has received over 500 citations.
I spent eight years as VP Science at Cerego, where the adaptive learning engine I designed was adopted by the US Army and Air Force for mission-critical training. I was named inventor on seven granted US patents, delivered a $4M Gates Foundation research grant, and built AI content creation tools using BERT and early GPT models years before the current wave.
I now lead AI product development, delivering $3M+ enterprise projects end-to-end while continuing to create core intellectual property from scratch: novel embedding systems, AI-native education platforms, and tools for legal analysis, each designed from first principles.
I build AI that amplifies human judgment.
I focus on complex, subjective domains where generic automation fails and where getting the human-AI interaction right is the whole challenge: legal reasoning, education, health, aesthetics. The best AI is built by people who understand how humans actually think, learn, and make decisions.
