The story behind the work.
I was born in Kenya, raised in East Africa and England, and built my professional career in the United Kingdom and the United States. Over more than two decades I worked across London, Geneva, Munich, Barcelona, Sydney, Amsterdam and cities throughout the United States before making Baltimore my home. That range, across industries and institutions and cultures, shaped how I see systems and the people working inside them.
I know what it means to bring your full capability into structures that were not designed to receive it. To do extraordinary work inside environments built for someone else. To recognize instinctively what is missing in a room, because you are what is missing. That knowledge sharpens you, and when the right moment and the right tools arrive, it becomes an advantage.
I spent more than twenty years mastering the technology systems that power the world's largest institutions, first at KPMG and Accenture leading enterprise technology for Fortune 500 companies, then as Chief Information Officer at a nonprofit. I have built these systems from the inside, and I know what it takes to make them work for a team that does not have twenty people to run them.

Technology has always created advantages. The question has always been who benefits.
For most of its history the answer stayed the same. Large institutions built enterprise systems, government agencies commissioned custom infrastructure, and well-resourced organizations deployed sophisticated tools. Building anything custom meant a team of twenty and a budget of millions, so most organizations were priced out of the question entirely.
Artificial intelligence changed the arithmetic. The same work can now be done by someone who understands the problem deeply, in weeks rather than years and at a fraction of the cost. That changes who gets to build, and it changes who benefits.
I have been building toward this since 2019. What I spent a career learning about complex systems and institutional change now applies to problems that were previously out of reach on cost alone.
