Independent AI projects · Professional leadership · Sydney

Exploring practical AI, one project at a time.

My professional experience spans more than 25 years across technology, product engineering, delivery and commercial leadership in APAC and global markets. The AI projects shown here are independent passion projects I pursue from personal interest—not client engagements or professional work. They give me a hands-on way to explore machine learning across conservation, decision intelligence, generative systems, finance and structured prediction.

Research that connects models to real problems.

These are independent passion projects pursued outside my professional role—not work delivered for clients or employers. Each page shares the approach, evidence and practical limitations behind the exploration.
