Data & AI Expert?

As noted on the homepage, you should beware of self-proclaimed experts on the internet and do your own due diligence. I cringe putting the word expert next to my name, as there’s so much to know and learn, especially in a broad area like Data & AI. Still, underselling myself would also be silly. I’ll let you be the judge.

⚡ New! These days, I provide independent consulting services around Data & AI, focusing on small-to-medium organisations in the climate tech and nature-positive sector. See my consulting page for details, or scroll down to contact me.

Obligatory self-promotional blurb

I’m an experienced data scientist and software engineer with a deep background in computer science, programming, machine learning, and statistics. My work spans the full spectrum from solving isolated data problems to building production systems that serve millions of users. With a proven capability to work independently and in teams, lead and mentor co-workers, and communicate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, I consistently deliver value to a variety of clients and projects.

Proof points

Words are cheap. Any chatbot could generate a blurb like the above. Let’s go deeper with a few highlights from my work:

Outcomes beat job titles

One of the downsides of working in an ever-changing field and accumulating a broad range of experiences is that it’s hard to summarise with a concise title. For example, being a data scientist used to imply having strong software engineering skills, but this has changed over time. It’s a similar story with the decline and rise of artificial intelligence. In an ideal world, I’d be able to let my work speak for itself, but we don’t live in such a world (in fact, human work is obsolete in my ideal world). In our world, people search for keywords and have different understandings of concepts, e.g., they may want “an AI solution” to a problem that can be solved with deterministic software engineering. Or they may believe they need an AI Engineer rather than a Data Scientist, when a few years ago it’d have been the opposite (as I’m writing this in 2023, you could replace the words data science with artificial intelligence across my historical posts and much of what I wrote would still hold).

Anyway, whether you’re trying to navigate Data & AI terminology or solve specific problems, I can probably help. As noted in my consulting page, my aim is to get to the root of business problems and iteratively implement pragmatic solutions. The taxonomy of Data & AI professionals is only relevant if I’m helping you hire a team.

Data & AI Consulting Services

Let's cross bridges together.

Let’s cross bridges together.

This is a high-level overview of my approach to consulting and the sort of problems I can help with. Feel free to contact me for more details.

Principles

When approaching consulting engagements, I aim to follow these key principles:

  • Getting to the root of business problems.
  • Iteratively implementing pragmatic solutions.
  • Saying what I’ll do, doing what I said, and communicating if anything changes.

Offerings

With my broad experience in data science, software engineering, and artificial intelligence, I can help in a variety of situations. My key offerings are:

  • Short one-off advisory sessions to address specific challenges and questions (book paid call).
  • Longer engagements to tackle data & AI problems, which start with problem discovery and lead to hands-on implementation work (contact me to discuss).
  • Mid-to-long term engagements as a Fractional Chief Data & AI Officer for startups and small-to-medium organisations (see slide deck for details).

Examples

Examples of the above offerings:

  • A short call to discuss an ongoing computer vision project, where the client was unsure the consultant they’ve retained was on the right path. I provided advice on where they should focus, based on my experience with best practices in such projects.
  • An internal consulting project with Automattic, where the aim was to increase WordPress.com customer retention rates. Artefacts from this project are still in use by the company five years later.
  • I served in data & AI leadership roles with multiple startups. While those weren’t fractional, a clear theme is that it’s hard for non-data people to make the first data hires and give them the right tasks. These are the sort of items I can help with fractionally.

Ideal clients and areas

My main interest these days is to apply my skills within the climate tech and nature-positive sector. However, I’m happy to discuss any project that is likely to have a positive impact on humanity and our shared environment.

I have worked with large companies (Intel, Qualcomm, Google, and Commonwealth Bank), medium-size businesses (Automattic – WordPress.com), several startups (like Orkestra – renewable energy space and Car Next Door – now Uber Carshare), and nonprofits (Reef Life Survey, GetUp!, and Work on Climate). As an independent consultant, I prefer working with stakeholders who have skin in the game, which typically means working with small-to-medium organisations in settings where it’s possible to quickly ship iterative solutions.

Next steps

Contact me if you’re interested in working together.
