What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can shape ethical AI and data strategy, advise on governance, produce research-driven policy, and mentor teams in responsible innovation.

I am a responsible AI, data strategy, and ethics specialist with advanced research training and a PhD in Philosophy (Ethics and Technology) in progress. I translate complex AI, data, and ethics concepts into clear, actionable content, policy briefs, and technical documents for organizations and academic audiences.

As Lead, Ethical Emerging Technology Strategy at Ethentra Limited and a long-term freelance consultant, I have advised organizations on digital transformation, developed ethical frameworks for AI and data governance, and delivered 70+ high-impact ghostwriting and research projects. My work emphasizes transparency, accountability, and embedding ethical reasoning into technical systems.

I am building toward an integrated role as an Ethical AI, Cloud & Data Architect by combining philosophical inquiry with practical skills in Python, SQL, cloud computing, data engineering, and machine learning, while providing training and strategic guidance on responsible innovation.
