Elaine He

Master of Business (Global Management & Marketing) (Honours)
Master of Applied Computing

With over six years of experience in cloud services, enterprise integration, and automation, I specialise in transforming ambiguous business challenges into practical, scalable solutions. My work sits at the intersection of technology and strategy, focusing on how AI, product development, and digital systems can reshape workflows and enhance decision-making.

I have a proven track record in designing seamless connections between complex systems—whether integrating platforms, redesigning processes, or improving the way information flows across an organisation. My approach blends deep technical understanding in Oracle technologies and cloud services with strong business insight, ensuring that the solutions we build are not only functional but genuinely meaningful for the people who rely on them.

I’m deeply guided by the belief that impactful technology should be quiet, intentional, and human-centred. Through writing and speaking, I explore how AI and modern product thinking are reshaping digital experiences and the future of work.

Ram Singh

Ram is a technologist and operator who root-cause solves existential enterprise-scale business and product problems while attempting to *not* create entirely new ones. When not leading or consulting cross-functional product development teams in delivering simple, trusted, fun, and useful solutions that delight customers and deliver significant ROI, he’s usually in the guts of yet another startup idea to do the same. Or jeeping and camping with (The RDML Grace) Hopper, a dog. Childhood access to computers blended with classic sci-fi like Asimov’s R. Daneel Olivaw, Simak’s Jenkins, and Adams’ Marvin stories piqued an early study of AI and robotics that perpetuated throughout Ram’s professional career. Like many, he’s been exploring what these latest AI model offerings are *aktshually* good for. Ram also: Operates "id8 inc", his consulting business and innovation incubator; Is developing "coreograf", a federated context-engineering system to improve efficacy & outcomes when humans-and-generative-AI-models collaborate in the development of complex enterprise-scale software; Co-organizes the "Artificial Intelligencers" meetup group.
