I turn data assets into measurable AI products and revenue.
What I'm looking for
I turn underused data into monetizable assets, AI products, and measurable business outcomes. I work as a fractional Forward Deployed AI Specialist, embedding with client teams to translate ambiguous business problems into practical AI initiatives.
In my independent practice, I audited a B2B SaaS firm's data and identified a proprietary dataset as its primary acquisition asset, then built its board-ready roadmap. I also designed an agri-tech AI product strategy to replace manual loan underwriting with a priced ML product and monthly ROI reporting.
I build when the work requires it, including a six-agent AI system for a HIPAA- and FDR-regulated B2B SaaS company, complete with a production output-quality evaluation framework. My technical work spans multi-agent orchestration, MLOps, predictive modelling, RAG pipelines, context engineering, and AI data security.
Previously, I advised fintech and blockchain ventures on product strategy, commercial architecture, regulation framing, and acquisition positioning across Africa and emerging markets. I also led business transformation, enterprise risk, and operational improvement engagements for mid-market and public-sector clients.
