Practical AI and civic-tech consulting for teams that need to ship
I help governments, founders, and product teams turn vague AI ambition into working systems, clear priorities, and delivery plans that survive contact with reality.
My work sits at the intersection of usable AI, public-interest technology, product strategy, and technical execution. If you need senior judgment, sharp product thinking, and someone who has actually shipped live systems, I can help.
Organisations with real constraints and real stakes
- Governments and public-sector teams improving services, access, or transparency
- Founders and startups trying to make AI genuinely useful
- Small teams that need senior product and technical guidance without hiring full-time
- Developer-facing organisations that want better tooling, onboarding, or platform strategy
Clarity, prioritisation, and delivery
- AI product strategy grounded in actual user needs
- Civic-tech and digital public infrastructure thinking
- Technical and product audits for in-flight work
- Scoping MVPs, prototypes, and roadmap tradeoffs
- Untangling messy ideas into a plan a team can execute
Structured enough to move things forward, flexible enough to fit the work
Advisory sessions
Focused working sessions for strategy, product direction, architecture tradeoffs, or unblockers your team needs resolved quickly.
Audits and reviews
A second pair of eyes on an AI product, civic-tech initiative, developer platform, or roadmap before more time and money gets committed.
Ongoing consulting
Senior support over a longer stretch when you need judgment, prioritisation, and practical direction as the work evolves.
Shipped systems and public-facing work
I am not coming at this as a generic consultant. I build and advise from inside real systems, with real users, real constraints, and measurable outcomes.

That rate applies to consulting sessions, product and technical reviews, and ongoing advisory work. If you have a concrete problem, send a short note and I will tell you quickly whether I am the right fit.
Start by emailGood fit, not a fit
Good fit
- You need clarity on what to build next
- You want useful AI, not a buzzword strategy deck
- You are working in public-interest, government, or complex product environments
Not a fit
- You want theatre, hype, or copy-paste AI features
- You need a large agency or a high-volume delivery shop
- You are not serious about shipping or acting on the advice
What kind of consulting do you take on?
Mostly AI product strategy, civic-tech and digital public infrastructure work, product and technical audits, and senior advisory support for small teams.
Do you only advise, or do you build too?
Both, depending on the situation. Some engagements are purely strategic. Others benefit from hands-on technical input or product direction.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. I am based in Barbados and work remotely with teams in other places.
How do we get started?
Email me with a short description of the problem, the context, and what kind of help you think you need. I will reply and let you know whether it makes sense to talk.
Need a senior pair of hands on an AI or civic-tech problem?
Email me a short brief. If it sounds like a fit, we can take it from there.
