Data, AI & institutional capacity
My work concerns how institutions put data to use: how it informs decisions, directs resources, and becomes part of the daily work of delivering public services.
Since 2018, I have led product development at mWater and Solstice, working with governments, utilities, and development partners on systems that connect field information to operational responsibilities.
My work spans consulting, training, and software development, helping teams build the systems and skills to use data in practice.
I am interested in how AI can extend this capacity, and what it takes for institutions to understand, govern, and sustain the systems they rely on.

Two examples from my product leadership at mWater, built with our team and partners.
Users were bringing AI assistants to a platform built for people. They needed capable access without losing control of their data.
Collecting a problem report is only the beginning. Someone needs to assign the work, follow it through, and check the result.
Much of this work takes shape with public institutions, including national systems in Zimbabwe, Uganda, Madagascar, and Papua New Guinea.

Before mWater, I worked on global information systems at WaterAid and mapping tools at the British Red Cross. That experience still shapes how I think about product development: the software has to fit the responsibilities, resources, and working lives around it.
I have done extensive consulting and training through UpBeam Oy, including engagements with WaterAid, the Netherlands Red Cross, and Water For People. Away from the product roadmap, I explore philosophy, writing, and small interactive projects.
