Overview

Currently at Twiga Foods, where I lead AI features with a team of 43. Cut time-to-first-value for new AI products customers from 19 days to 4. Killed 4 features nobody used and shipped the 4 that customers asked for. Before that: Takealot and Deloitte. Most at home with user research and ML. I tinker with 3D printers.
