Background
From unclear to working.
I started building websites in Dubai in 2011 and never really stopped building things. Along the way I ran a digital agency as managing partner, led operations as COO through a two-billion-dollar energy agreement, and co-founded an AI product. The through-line was never a job title. It was being the person who takes something from unclear to working.
A few years ago I went back to the technical side properly: machine learning through Stanford, programming and databases through Harvard's CS50 series, and the applied data science work I'm publishing now. Not to change careers, but because the interesting problems moved there.
What that combination buys a client is unusual. The systems I build are technically sound, and they also survive contact with a real business, because I've run one. See the work for the specifics.
