I'm an AI Architect with 18 years in software engineering. I currently lead the rollout of AI tooling and an AI-enabled SDLC at a global insurance company, and I run TrolleyRelay, a production SaaS built by one human directing AI agents through a fully gated delivery process: hundreds of PRs, more test code than product code, and every rule in the process traceable to a real incident that produced it.

My current talk and article series, "You can't install an AI-SDLC", is about what it actually takes to run AI-driven delivery accountably: quality floors, review and judgment gates, agent identity and attribution, and infrastructure that keeps agents constrained, observable, and reviewable. Nothing in it is claimed practice; it is all demonstrated, dated, and public.

Before the AI wave I spent most of my career in LegalTech and HealthTech, and co-founded Realta Logic, an Australian startup digitising regulation and making it operational, built on two decades of CSIRO research. My earlier talks sit where those threads meet: domain-specific languages, graph databases, and turning complex regulation into something visual and computable.

Mariam Halfhide is a Data & AI Strategist working at the intersection of AI governance, organizational transformation, and leadership. With a background in econometrics and data science, she helps organizations navigate not only what AI makes possible, but what it takes to adopt and govern it responsibly.

Her work increasingly centers on three questions: What does it mean to truly be in control of AI? How do we rethink change as AI demands faster shifts in organizations and mindsets? And how do we develop leaders for the AI era? Underneath these questions is a broader interest in human development: as our capabilities grow through AI, how do we ensure that we continue to develop ourselves? Essentially, who do we want to be when we use, build and interact with AI?

Mariam approaches responsible AI as a system rather than a standalone governance challenge. Technology, governance, culture, leadership and human development all shape whether AI creates sustainable value. Rather than focusing solely on AI's risks, she is particularly interested in the fragilities that new technologies expose in our organizations and society, and what addressing them can teach us about building a future in which technology strengthens rather than undermines the values we want to preserve.
