Business analysis · AI delivery
I decide whether the answer is AI, automation, analytics, or just a better process—then build it.
Thirteen years leading discovery, process redesign and requirements on complex transformation programmes across public-sector construction, defence, nuclear, energy trading and maritime. Now paired with hands-on delivery of LLM, retrieval and machine-learning solutions in Python on AWS — so feasibility is an informed judgement, not a guess.
