Major Projects

  • AI Strategy – Led the AI strategy implementation using design thinking, which resulted in innovative prototypes and the selection of an AI stack, culminating in a comprehensive update of all AI-related policies for a major enterprise energy company
  • AI Prototyping – Converted ideas into functional prototypes by identifying, refining, and prioritising problems based on business objectives. Developed and tested rapid prototypes for potential improvements, offering an efficient way to craft AI solutions
  • AI Studio Launch – Launched the AI Studio with engaging workshops to enhance team skills in AI. Established an AI Showcase/Use Case Library MVP, centralising AI use cases with interactive resources.
  • AI Redaction – Built a tool for semi-automatic redaction of information from PDFs using LLM to identify and highlight information, which the user then confirms or rejects. This project was driven by new regulations requiring document redaction before release.
  • AI for All Strategy – Developed the AI for All strategy, including the use of copilot chat and Pro GPT. Evaluated the cost and benefits of different AI tools and their impact on user experience.
  • Predictive Analytics/Machine Learning – Led a team working with an equipment company to gas drillers supported by Microsoft to predict machine failure and up-times to maximise the equipment and servicing prior to breakdown.  As well, we evaluated the impact on the equipment based on geo (soil makeup) and cocktails to led to better knowledge of wear and tear on equipment for margin prediction.  This has been adopted and starting to be adopted by others as best practice for similar companies.
