Learn With AI

Speak a new language, get AI feedback — offline.

2026

A mobile product for practising spoken language across 100+ languages, with on-device speech recognition and AI feedback a phrasebook can't give.

  • Offline speech-to-text with Vosk, falling back to the Android recogniser when it helps
  • Conversational AI responses served through AWS Lambda, kept optional so the core loop works unplugged
  • Translations cached to disk; state held in StateFlow and rendered by Compose
  • Kotlin
  • Jetpack Compose
  • MVVM
  • Coroutines / Flow
  • Vosk
  • AWS Lambda

MedDocs

Patient records and medical files, offline-first.

2026

A clinical records product for patients and the scans, images and PDFs that come with them — built entirely on-device for clinics that can't assume connectivity.

  • Side-by-side medical image comparison with independent rotation, zoom and save-back at full resolution
  • Attachments across images, PDFs, video and documents, handed off to the right external app
  • Soft-delete recycle bin, multi-field search and an active-patients-first sort that matches how wards actually work
  • Kotlin
  • Room
  • MVVM
  • Coroutines / Flow
  • Glide
  • PhotoView

Open to collaborate on

Technology product strategy

Deciding what a platform should become — then holding that direction through architecture, roadmap and trade-offs.

What it looks like

  • A vague "modernise" mandate turned into a sequenced platform bet
  • Clear calls on where to build, where to buy, where debt is worth carrying
  • Roadmaps that survive contact with engineering

What I bring

Years between engineering and business on enterprise platforms, accountable to both — enough hands-on depth to tell an excuse from a reality.

AI-assisted building

Getting working software into the hands of people who were never going to write it themselves — in an afternoon, not a quarter.

What it looks like

  • A spreadsheet ritual turned into a small, real tool
  • A product idea prototyped far enough to test with real users
  • Non-engineers taught to build and ship their own utilities

What I bring

A product manager who writes the prototype instead of specifying it, and knows which corners are safe to cut.

Supply chain & operations analytics

Simulation, optimisation and clustering applied to inventory, routing and production planning — modelling that turns argument into decision.

What it looks like

  • Inventory policy set by simulation, not habit
  • Routing and milk-run decisions backed by a model of the actual roads
  • Lead-time and capacity models that make delivery promises defensible

What I bring

Formal training in supply chain analytics, plus years building these models in Python and Excel for real plants and networks.
