AI Product & Venture Lead · Startup Founder · Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺
I play at the intersection of frontier AI, product strategy, and human-centred design. My background spans HCI and design, two startup exits, and 12 countries — now focused on building AI systems that actually work for people.
- AI Product Strategy — Defining product vision and roadmap for AI-native systems; from concept to deployment
- Human-AI Interaction — Designing experiences where AI augments human decision-making (built on Stanford HCI principles)
- Agentic AI Systems — Exploring multi-agent architectures, LLM orchestration, and AI-driven gameplay
- Data Science & ML — Bridging product thinking with model evaluation, feature engineering, and AI pipeline design
- Startup Building — Two successful exits in video games (Shanghai & Berlin); currently building with AI agents as co-founders

vai_sante_os — privacy-first multimodal memory
active · research
A framework for provenance-aware multimodal memory and orchestration in high-stakes AI workflows (health, legal, policy, safety).
- Provenance-aware retrieval returns content and chain of custody
- Human-in-the-loop review gates for sensitive decisions
- Treats time and evidence quality as first-class, not metadata

dam-butler-mcp — Breville's first MCP tool, in daily production use
production · enterprise
GTM teams across APAC, North America, and EMEA needed daily access to 235K+ brand assets in Brandfolder — but retrieving the right file meant knowing the exact folder taxonomy, which most non-technical users didn't. Built Breville's first MCP-based internal tool: a custom GPT connected to the Brandfolder API via an intent parser and clarification loop.
- Natural language query → intent parser → structured Brandfolder API call
- Clarification loop resolves ambiguous inputs before the API fires
- Prototyped Sep 2025; shipped to production, in daily workflows across APAC, North America, and EMEA — demo video

vivid-alpaca — multi-agent trading with execution guardrails
active · safety
Paper-first multi-agent AI trading lab built on the AlpacaTradingAgent lineage. Execution-layer guardrails sit between agent recommendations and broker order submission.
- Configurable agent mindsets (capital preservation → paper-aggressive training)
- Goal-aware workflows with target return, time horizon, max drawdown
- Live trading gated behind manual approval, journaling, cooldown, replay

sourdough-intelligence — pre-LLM data science, live product
live · vividcrumb.netlify.app
Started in 2018 — before LLMs. Built a two-stage model to find the sourdough recipe with the highest first-time success rate: multiple linear regression across recipe variables + IBM Watson NLP sentiment analysis on 207 recipes and their YouTube comment threads.
- Top-3 shortlist generated → picked one → worked first try
- Now a live scheduling app: bake-time wizard, baker's percentage formula gen, temperature-aware bulk fermentation, printable plans
