- Leading the design and build of an AI-integrated project management, sales and marketing platform for a professional services sector, ahead of a national launch. Its AI report writer drafts a full technical report in under an hour.

- Set AI governance rules for our SaaS platform: cost limits, prompt injection protection and accuracy checks.
- Designed AI training courses for business teams covering Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Introduced AI into a traditional small business supplying snooker and pool tables, replacing manual stock checks with a custom GPT linked to the stock spreadsheet, building a custom CRM and sales dashboard as Claude Artifacts, and running day-to-day operations including customer enquiries, sales, deliveries, supplier orders and bookkeeping.
350-hour programme of team-based work in a simulated company focused on governance, risk and compliance.
