About / The full story

A mechanical engineer turned applied-AI builder.

I have worked across project delivery, proposals, business development and sales in environments where accuracy, coordination and trust matter. That experience shaped a simple conviction: useful AI should fit the real workflow.

The connecting thread

Complex work becomes manageable when the system is clear.

My early career was grounded in mechanical engineering and project work: organising bids, coordinating people, finding suppliers, speaking with clients and moving information through imperfect processes.

Proposals and pre-qualification work made the problem especially obvious. Valuable knowledge existed, but it was scattered across people and documents. The practical question was not “where can AI be added?” It was “how can the work become easier to find, review and trust?”

Today I am focused on building FormMind, my in-development flagship document-intelligence project, and LifeOS, an in-progress personal knowledge system. I am most useful in roles that sit between customers, domain experts and the people building the product.
