AI Governance & Technology Policy · AI Product Strategy.
A short introduction
I'm a public policy professional building a career at the intersection of AI governance and hands-on technology delivery. I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Public Policy at O.P. Jindal Global University, with a political science background and day-to-day experience running an advertising agency and leading technology & policy projects for a healthcare business.
What sets my interest in AI governance apart from a purely academic one is that I build the systems I'm trying to understand — I've designed agentic AI workflows myself and prototyped several AI products from scratch, so my thinking on where regulation needs to catch up is informed by having actually built the thing.
Things I've built and shipped.
- 01
Agentic AI Workflow & Prompt Engineering
Designed and documented a multi-agent workflow using OpenClaw and Hermes to orchestrate research, planning, and decision-support tasks — practical experimentation that directly informs how I think about AI governance.
Hands-on build - 02
AI Grant Matching Platform
An AI-powered platform matching African startups and SMEs with relevant grants, using automated eligibility screening to cut down manual search time.
Founder · MVP - 03
Counterfeit Product Authentication Platform
Digital verification infrastructure letting consumers check whether beverages, medicines, cosmetics, and luxury goods are genuine before they buy.
Founder · Prototype - 04
Creator Marketplace
A creator-economy platform connecting brands with vetted creators through AI-assisted matching, with payments built directly into the workflow.
Founder · MVP
The Calm Within.
A self-help book on self-therapy approaches, written by prompting an AI book-writing tool in natural language.
A companion explanatory video was produced using Google's NotebookLM and published on YouTube — a small experiment in what a solo author can now ship end-to-end with modern AI tooling.
Let's talk about policy, product, or the space in between.
Currently taking on new work in AI governance, tech policy research, and AI product strategy. Send a note — I usually reply within a day or two.
