I am a former physician with clinical background in divergent cognition: how thinking processes work under different conditions. For the past year I have applied that lens to large language models, conducting systematic empirical research across multiple architectures. My studies challenge several widely held assumptions about LLM behaviour, including the effectiveness of structured prompt engineering, the nature of hallucinations, and the conditions under which reasoning capacity is suppressed or expressed. I do not approach these systems as an engineer, but by using my training to observe how minds actually behave, which sometimes means seeing things that standard benchmarks miss.

AI isn’t coming. It’s already reshaping industries and most enterprises are still figuring out where to start.

I’ve spent 15+ years at the forefront of that transformation. From building data science foundations when “AI” was still a buzzword, to architecting production-grade agentic systems that autonomously drive business outcomes today. I’ve consistently been a step ahead of where the market was going.

I don’t just implement AI. I help enterprises understand what’s possible before they know to ask for it, scoping the right initiatives, building the right solutions, and leading the teams that bring them to life. From first conversation to full adoption.

My edge: the combination of deep mathematical foundations, hands-on technical leadership, and the ability to translate complexity into boardroom-level clarity. I lead high-performing teams of AI engineers and data scientists while staying close enough to the architecture to know when something won’t work before it doesn’t.

The next frontier is agentic AI. I’m already there.
