“My philosophy centres on three pillars: high-quality data, contextual domain understanding, and ethical governance. AI systems are only as reliable as the data they are built on. Ensuring this data is clean, relevant, and contextualized is paramount. Once the foundation is strong, we can build the technical layers, but effective AI isn’t about deploying the most advanced algorithms; it’s about creating intelligent ecosystems that deliver measurable, responsible impact.”
