Who am I...?

My journey to the confluence of psychology, technology, and education has been anything but linear.

It began with a fascination for the influence of media, from creating immersive soundscapes as a musician and technician to building interactive learning platforms as an edtech entrepreneur. Along the way, I witnessed firsthand how technology could shape experiences, influence behaviour, and unlock human potential. Founding and leading a tech business further fueled this interest, highlighting the importance of understanding not just the ‘what’ of technology but the ‘how’ and the ‘why.’ This drive to delve deeper into the human element led me to an MSc in Psychological Sciences and ongoing research into how AI can be used to foster self-awareness, resilience, and personal relevance realising.

Each step, from the stage to the boardroom to the lab, has reinforced my belief that technology’s true power lies in its ability to attune to aspirations and environmental benefits. Today, I’m particularly excited about the potential of AI to not just deliver information but to help us understand ourselves better and unlock our full potential to better fit ourselves and, in turn, the environment.

A Unifying Vision

My approach is deeply rooted in a holistic understanding of human experience, drawing upon insights from psychology, psychosynthesis, and my own journey of self-discovery. I’m fascinated by the dance between our conscious and unconscious processes, between our individual experiences and the collective wisdom we share. This perspective informs all of my work, whether designing AI-powered learning tools, coaching individuals towards greater self-awareness, or simply exploring the big questions about what it means to be human in a rapidly changing world. A key concept of this exploration is how we make sense of the world around us. What are the mental processes that determine the things we pay attention to, what we come to believe, and the actions we take? Answering these questions is fundamental to building technology that supports us in living more meaningful lives.

Recently, a focus on graph-based knowledge structures and virtualised human memory has opened new horizons in personalised, AI-assisted learning. I am driven to pursue this line of enquiry by a deeply-held belief that technology, when used carefully, can be a powerful force for good in the world. In particular, I see huge potential for AI to help us learn, grow, and connect with each other in new and meaningful ways.

Current Focus

Exploring the Intersection of AI, and Psychology

My current work centres on exploring the exciting possibilities that emerge when we combine AI, psychology, and education. I’m particularly interested in using AI to create more personalised, adaptive, and engaging learning experiences. While the technical details of cutting-edge knowledge-based structures and memory management are fascinating (please visit the research section for more information), what truly drives me is the potential to empower learners and help them achieve their aspirations through better self-awareness and environmental alignment. Education is one of the most powerful forces for change in the world. It has certainly been so in my own life.

Reducing the barrier to understanding

I’m currently developing a YouTube channel as a way to share my explorations and connect with others who are passionate about these topics. Through this platform, I’ll be delving into the psychological principles that underpin effective learning, showcasing innovative AI tools, and exploring the philosophical implications of this rapidly evolving field. I’ll also be highlighting some of my own products and research, including a journaling app designed to foster self-reflection and a unique ‘meta-business’ concept aimed at helping individuals navigate their personal and professional lives with greater clarity and purpose.”

Life Coaching: A Path to Self-Discovery and Personal Growth

In parallel with my research and development work, I offer life coaching services grounded in the principles of psychosynthesis. This approach recognises that we are all complex beings, with a multitude of inner voices and potentials. Through coaching, I help individuals connect with their deeper selves, navigate challenges, and align their actions with their values.

My concept of ‘meta-business’ encourages individuals to view themselves as a business entity. In this framework, you become the primary customer, with the goal of identifying and providing solutions to your personal challenges. By integrating business principles into personal growth, individuals can achieve enhanced clarity, establish significant goals, and tackle obstacles more efficiently.

Bridging the Past & Present

My background in music and technical arts may seem unconventional for someone working in AI and education. However, I’ve found that the creative mindset, the ability to improvise, and the focus on user experience that I honed in those fields are invaluable in my current work. Just as a musician strives to create a harmonious and engaging performance, I strive to create learning experiences and personal development tools that are relatable, effective, and inspiring. The common thread throughout my journey has been a deep curiosity about human relating and a desire to create experiences that connect, resonate, and empower.
