Not just a manager who codes. A builder who leads.
Twenty years in IT, mostly data engineering, ETL, SQL Server and full-stack development. Director of Application Development by profession, with a Cambridge certificate in cognitive psychology and a server of my own in the cloud. Based in Cheshunt, UK.
AI as a cognitive mirror.
I treat AI as a lens on how people reason, not just a tool. Watching a model be confidently wrong teaches me as much about myself as about the model.
Infrastructure independence.
I run my own server and keep my keys and data close, so no single provider can switch me off.
Hands-on or nothing.
I would rather build it than manage a slide about it.
Ethical clarity over enthusiasm.
I am excited about AI and careful about it, and I try to keep both feelings alive.
