Framed core product thesis: AI as augmentation for creative teams, not replacement. Ran structured discovery cycles and prototype-led sprints, accelerating MVP scoping by 30%. Piloted rapid messaging tests across partnership and pricing contexts to tighten go-to-market narrative. ### Co-Founder & Technical Head, ThinkHumanly.co (2025-06 – present) London, UK · Building an AI companion for children focused on AI literacy and human skills. Own product, design, prototyping and engineering end-to-end. Designed and deployed automated data workflows using SQL and APIs to structure chat data, directly informing model refinements that improved reasoning quality. Use direct user feedback and rapid experimentation to shape adaptive conversational experiences. ### AI Consultant, Barings Wealth Management (via LSE) (2025-01 – 2025-05) London, UK · Partnered with engineering teams to embed AI prototypes into legacy financial systems while maintaining model reliability in high-volume production environments. Led AI opportunity mapping across operations, technology, and security teams. Delivered prototypes and strategic proposals translated complex AI concepts into business cases with practical implementation paths. ### Founder & Technical Product Lead, Humsana (2024-10 – 2026-06) London, UK · Built three production AI systems from zero with full ownership of discovery, architecture, engineering, and release. Identified that AI coding agents executing commands during developer fatigue create production risk; built cognitive safety interlock detecting fatigue through behavioral timing patterns and blocking dangerous commands in real time. Discovered user intent signal gaps in dating platforms, checkout flows, and marketplaces; designed and built behavioral intelligence SDK inferring user state from interaction patterns via API. Built real-time voice deepfake detection combining deterministic signal processing with ML classification at ~15ms latency, choosing neurosymbolic approach to meet enterprise compliance requirements. Designed PII detection via vocal acoustics at ~10ms, eliminating ~1.2s transcription-based latency. Shipped deepfake detection as MCP-compatible server for Claude and Cursor; MIT licensed, open source, privacy-first with local-only processing. ### Project Manager (LSE Chapter), 180 Degrees Consulting (via LSE) (2024-10 – 2025-02) London Area, United Kingdom · Led multi-workstream consulting projects for impact-led organizations. Designed data-backed donor engagement models improving retention and conversion by approximately 25%. ### Research Officer & Founding Team Advisor, Hibiscus Foundation / Hibiscus Connect (2023-11 – 2024-08) Chennai, India · Analyzed digital behavior patterns shaping trust and platform adoption. Translated findings into solution frameworks later applied to human-AI interaction models in product environments. Designed onboarding and cross-team workflows for early-stage scale-up. Facilitated training workshops for internal and external teams on interaction models and strategies, ensuring alignment on design rationale. ### Research Officer, Hibiscus Foundation (2021-01 – 2024-01) India ### Founder & Product Manager, JourneyMile (2016-01 – 2025-01) India · Built behavior-based travel planning platform from idea to MVP on a $3,000 budget. Conducted 200+ user interviews identifying cognitive load and decision paralysis as core friction, reframing product from itinerary builder to adaptive guidance engine. Defined ML-driven preference system reducing journey planning time by 50% and increasing engagement by 35%. Managed distributed freelance engineering and design teams across multiple iterations. Partnered with sales and marketing to package ML engine into launch narratives, driving early adopter sign-ups up to 50%. Ran lean fundraising process targeting early-stage backers, converting product demos into capital for MVP launch. ## Education ### Master's degree, The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) (2024-09 – 2025-09) Managing Editor of ISChannel ### Master's degree in Entrepreneurship/Entrepreneurial Studies, UCL (2015-09 – 2016-11) ### Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, University of Essex (2011-10 – 2015-07) ## Projects ### AIMetrical Performance analytics platform · Developed analytics platform for measuring AI performance and insights. ### Humsana An adaptive AI system that learns from individual usage patterns using behavioral science while maintaining data privacy, creating contextual, personalized AI experiences. ### Voice Deepfake Detection Real-time detection with explainability · Built real-time voice deepfake detection combining deterministic signal processing with ML classification. Chose neurosymbolic approach after discovery showed black-box models failed enterprise compliance. Shipped as MCP-compatible server for Claude and Cursor; MIT licensed, open source, privacy-first design with local-only processing and no cloud dependency. ### Behavioral Intelligence SDK Real-time user state inference · Designed and built SDK inferring user state from interaction patterns, returning actionable scores via API. Discovered that dating platforms, checkout flows, and marketplaces lack real-time signals on user intent, hesitation, and stress. Enables partner platforms to adapt UX in real time based on user readiness. ### Cognitive Safety Interlock AI agent fatigue detection and command blocking · Built system detecting developer fatigue through behavioral timing patterns and blocking dangerous AI agent commands in real time. Identified that AI coding agents executing commands during fatigue periods create significant production risk. ### PII Detection via Vocal Acoustics Fast acoustic-based detection · Designed PII detection leveraging vocal acoustics, eliminating ~1.2s latency of transcription-based pipelines. Compatible with Vapi.ai, Twilio, and custom integrations. ## Skills Model Context Protocol (MCP), Python (Programming Language), Large Language Models (LLM), User-centered Design, AI Strategy, Shareholder Communications, Storytelling, AI Product Development, Business Storytelling, Product Operations, Team Culture, User Engagement, Data Analysis, Behavioral Insights, Organizational Strategy, Advisory, Client Relations, Fundraising, User Research, Agile, Solutions Design, Consulting, Stakeholder Management, Product, Strategy, Innovation, Leadership, AI, Open Innovation, People Management, Digital Transformation, AI Management, Research Skills, Interviewing, Strategic Vision, Market Analysis, Product Strategy, Product Innovation, Product Vision, Product Launch, Launches, Strategic Consulting, Business Analysis, Innovation Management, Business Insights, Presentations, Teamwork, Team Leadership, Interpersonal Skills, AI Agents, LLM Workflows, Multi-agent Orchestration, Prompt Engineering, API Design, Real-Time Systems, Rapid Prototyping, Product Development, Discovery & Validation, Go-To-Market, Cursor, Claude, Postman, Jira, Machine Learning, Behavioral Intelligence, Signal Processing, Open Source, Startup Leadership, Financial Services ## Credentials - **IPA 2021 Honorable Mention (Professional)** — International Photography Awards 2021 - **IPA 2022 Official Selection (Professional)** — International Photography Awards 2022 - **Badge of completion for the Open-Access Strategy Consulting Virtual Experience Program** — Forage (issued 2021-10) - **Consultant Program** — Forage (issued 2021-10) --- Source: https://saywise.com/member7465 (last modified 2026-10-06T15:29:55.884Z)
