About
My path to becoming an AI scientist and serial entrepreneur began in an unexpected place – a law firm. As a banking lawyer, I witnessed firsthand how technology could transform complex regulatory challenges, but I also saw the gaps where innovation was desperately needed.
This realization led me to Oxford, where I'm pursuing my DPhil in Computer Science, focusing on explainable AI and natural language processing. My research isn't just academic it's driven by a mission to make AI systems transparent, ethical, and truly beneficial for society.
As a serial entrepreneur, I've built multiple ventures across different industries, each providing invaluable insights that shaped my approach to innovation. These diverse experiences taught me to identify genuine market needs, understand timing, and build solutions that truly serve users. This rich foundation of knowledge now informs every decision in my current ventures
With over 10 years of experience spanning law, finance, and technology, I bring a unique perspective to AI development that prioritizes ethics, transparency, and societal benefit alongside technical excellence.
My diverse entrepreneurial experience, combined with legal expertise and rigorous technical training, uniquely positions me at the intersection of three critical domains: understanding regulatory landscapes, advancing AI research, and executing responsible market innovations.
Speaking at conferences worldwide, I advocate for AI development that prioritizes transparency, fairness, and societal benefit. Whether advising other founders, collaborating with researchers, or building new companies, my mission remains constant: democratizing access to legal and financial services through responsible technology innovation - informed by both my successes and the invaluable lessons learned along the way.
