Why Work with Me

Deep AI expertise

Over 20 years of hands-on work in AI, machine learning, and data science, across healthcare, finance, e-commerce, telecoms, and more.

Real systems delivered with real business impact.

For more on my background, see the About page.

You work with me directly

The person you speak to at the start is the same person doing the work. No handoffs, no junior bench, no account layers between you and the work.

Without the big-firm overhead

Senior expertise that moves faster, and at a fraction of the cost of a large firm. No management layers, no sales overhead, and none of the margin built in to support either.

What clients and colleagues say

Paul is exceptional. We've been so lucky to have him work with us on our health insights engine the past few months. His communication skills are fantastic, he works quickly and thoroughly. We had a number of changes to the scope and plan and he adjusted well to accommodate us.

CEO and Founder, Elli Cares

Paul was brought in as an external AI consultant with expertise in search systems to provide guidance on a project to implement an AI-driven supplier sourcing system. As part of this he also built a supplier data enrichment system. I was very happy with Paul's contribution to the project and would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Bill Watts

Managing Director, Eagle Exports

Paul is a great person to work with, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any role or project. It is rare to find someone who excels in technical expertise as well as interpersonal skills. I have no doubt that all his clients will benefit from his deep technical domain knowledge, his attention to detail and his personal touch.

Paul came into [Qualcomm] to work on the flagship technical capabilities of the company and, in that role, rapidly became a leading light, sharing his broad knowledge and insight with the product team and having direct influence on the roadmap. Diligent and intelligent, he was a key player in the team and a pleasure to work with.
