I started my career as an NHS doctor. Those intense shifts treating patients one by one showed me something I couldn't ignore: the problems I saw weren't unique to my hospital or even my city. They were systemic. And whilst I could help individual patients, I kept thinking about how much more impact I could have if I built tools that helped thousands, even millions of people at once. That realisation led me to trade my stethoscope for product strategy.

Now I'm a Principal Product Manager at Elsevier, where I work on Scopus AI. My goal is simple: help researchers find the knowledge they need to advance human understanding, whether that's curing diseases, understanding climate change, or exploring the cosmos. I've also created RAG-Fusion, an open-source contribution that others in the AI community have found useful. It's medicine at a different scale.

My approach comes from those early days in medicine: define what good looks like before diving in, measure real behaviour (not assumptions), and meet people where they are, not where you think they should be. Whether it's building AI systems or making pasta sauce, the principle stays the same.
