I like to think of myself as a bit of a tech Swiss-army knife; a curious generalist who loves rolling up his
sleeves to solve problems from every angle. Over the past eight years
I’ve designed brands and campaigns, led product design innovation at startups and venture studios, and worked
with enterprises and consultancies to bring new ideas to life. I’ve also had fun along the way! I built
open-source tools (currently used by 20,000+ people), co-founded a UX research lab to empower startups and small
product teams accelerate research and product testing, and help early-stage companies raise over $750k
in pre-seed funding. That journey also earned me the UK Global Talent Award for Exceptional Talent & Leadership
in Technology in 2022.
Now I’m chasing a lifelong fascination with aviation. I’m currently at Cranfield University pursuing an MSc in
Safety and Human Factors in Aviation where I am exploring how human-AI systems can boost situational awareness,
support cognitive offloading, and improve predictive safety in future flight systems. My current obsession is a
Deep Learning project to model a multimodal workload assessment framework that fuses physiological sensor data,
operational context per task, and operator performance data to evaluate and classify real-time cognitive
workload states. I consider it an early step toward adaptive flight-deck monitoring.
