I build governed AI and Power Platform solutions for complex operational workflows.
What I'm looking for
At NHS Grampian, I design Power Platform architecture and deployment pipelines for governed application delivery across Development, Test, UAT and Production environments.
I translate operational requirements into Power Apps and Power Automate solutions, while resolving DLP, permissions, licensing, testing and least-privilege access requirements in a shared enterprise tenant.
Through Metacog Systems Ltd, I’m prototyping a model-agnostic AI governance system for accountable human judgement in legal and other regulated professional workflows.
I bring experience from NHS analytics, national improvement programmes, and business consulting, turning ambiguous operational, policy and client problems into practical analytical, automation and technology solutions.
