MY THOUGHTS

FIELD NOTES

Longer-form writing on the problems I keep coming back to — what agentic systems actually change, and what it takes to run them in production.

ESSAY · FOOD SYSTEMS

Agriculture and Food Sustenance

Where intelligence meets the systems that feed us — and which parts of the chain are actually worth automating.

Coming soon
ESSAY · DELIVERY MODEL

The AI Delivery Model

Enterprise delivery was built for software that behaves the same way twice. Agents don't. What has to change.

GUIDE · PRODUCTION AGENTS

The End-to-End Guide to Production AI Agents

From prototype to production: orchestration, evaluation, and governance — in the order they actually bite.

Vertical Integration Intelligence

Agentic Design Lead · Unilever Horizon3 AI Labs

  • Advised senior stakeholders on AI-driven market intelligence opportunities, mapping value chains to identify strategic partnerships, investment opportunities, and operational improvement levers.
  • Designed, prototyped, and iteratively tested an AI-enabled intelligence tool combining LLM workflows and structured data models, incorporating user feedback to refine the product experience.
  • Quantified strategic impact and articulated roadmap trade-offs across a portfolio of 33 direct material value chains, identifying ~$100M+ cost reduction potential and >70% cycle-time improvement in opportunity discovery.
02

Agentic Direct Material Sourcing

Generative AI & Agentic Design Lead · Unilever Horizon3 AI Labs

  • Led product development for a multi-agent AI platform supporting 1,500+ procurement users — defining requirements and user stories, and guiding delivery from research through production launch.
  • Ran iterative evaluation and testing cycles that improved forecasting and pricing intelligence accuracy from 85% to 96%, contributing to ~$120M in realized savings.
  • Built and scaled a procurement intelligence product across 2,000+ materials, balancing user needs, technical feasibility, and business goals to enable an estimated $250M+ in annual value.
CANADIAN RETAIL CLIENT · ACCENTURE

IT Procurement
Reinvention

Reinventing how a 5,000+ person procurement function makes decisions — from human-centered discovery through to an agentic AI platform in production, with the rollout and operating model to support it.

Agentic AI Design Lead

AI Strategy & Product Delivery · Accenture

  • Led human-centered discovery across a 5,000+ employee procurement function — translating stakeholder pain points and workflow research into a prioritized product roadmap and enterprise rollout plan for AI-enabled decision-making.
  • Owned product requirements, prioritization, and architecture decisions for an agentic AI platform spanning orchestration, enterprise integrations, and governance; partnered with engineering to move concepts from prototype to production.
  • Facilitated cross-functional ideation and journey-mapping workshops with business leaders and domain experts to size and prioritize AI opportunities projected to reduce procurement effort by ~80%.
  • Delivered executive-level synthesis translating complex technical architecture into clear, non-technical recommendations on rollout sequencing and operating model design.
PERSONAL PRODUCT · CONSUMER AI

Scantry

An 8-agent orchestrated AI system that turns a pantry scan into a full meal plan — point a camera at what you already have, and get back something you can actually cook.

to finished plan

Design & Build

Personal product

  • Built around a single input: a scan of what is already in the pantry, removing the manual inventory step that makes most meal-planning tools go unused.
  • Eight specialised agents work in orchestration to carry that one scan through to a complete, cookable meal plan.
AI ENABLEMENT · THOUGHT LEADERSHIP

AI Capability
Building

Building the capability on the client side that makes agentic AI stick — immersion workshops, published patterns, and the governance thinking that turns a pilot into something an enterprise can run.

Workshops & Publication

AI Strategy & Product Delivery · Accenture

  • Designed and facilitated design-thinking and AI immersion workshops — covering LLM fundamentals, multi-agent orchestration, prompt engineering, and RAG — for CPG, Retail, and Travel clients, building client capability with emerging technology.
  • Co-authored a whitepaper with Unilever Horizon3 AI Labs on agentic AI orchestration patterns, evaluation frameworks, and governance for scaling AI products.
FIRM INITIATIVE · ACCENTURE

AI Strategy
Reinvention

Most AI strategy is untestable by design. This initiative built the opposite — use-case-driven strategies with the operating model, governance and autonomy questions answered up front.

4Pillars: operating model,
governance, autonomy, maturity

Initiative Lead

AI Strategy & Product Delivery · Accenture

  • Led initiative at Accenture for AI Strategy Reinvention by designing testable, use-case-driven strategies spanning operating model design, governance, autonomy frameworks, and enterprise AI maturity assessments.
PRO BONO · COMMUNITY SERVICES

WoodGreen
Community AI

The same enablement approach used with enterprise clients, offered pro bono to a community services organisation — built on the belief that the case for AI is easier to make when you can show it working.

Program Initiator

WoodGreen Community Services · pro bono

  • Initiated a pro-bono AI immersion program with WoodGreen Community Services: building sample AI solutions and facilitating hands-on sessions to demonstrate community impact potential.
