I build systems that encode what your people actually know, and keep it there.
AI Product Lead at Cambridge University Press & Assessment. MEd researcher at UCT. Based in Cape Town.
Professional expertise is perishable. It lives in people’s heads, gets lost in documents nobody reads, and disappears when someone leaves. Generic AI tools don’t solve this. They’re built for average contexts, not yours.
I build AI systems that capture professional judgement and make it persistent. Most of my project work is in education, spanning curriculum development, policy analysis, and professional learning. But the underlying problem, making AI contextually competent in your domain, shows up across professional services, L&D, and research organisations.
What I’ve built
TextbookAI
Generates locally-relevant curriculum content for Sub-Saharan African markets in hours, not weeks. Publishers upload a curriculum once and produce manuscripts and assessments tailored to local contexts at scale.
CAPSPlanner
Turns the national CAPS curriculum into weekly lesson plans tailored to each teacher’s actual classroom. A quintile 1 school gets different activities from an urban private school. Built for SA teachers, not generic templates.
Forma
An AI instructional designer that encodes learning science as system constraints, not just prompt suggestions. A full 6-module Moodle course that would take days of manual design produced in under two hours.
NiallOS
A personal AI operating system encoding years of consulting and academic expertise into production skills, knowledge insights, and a multi-model agent stack. The proof of concept for everything I build with clients.
Working with Cambridge University Press & Assessment, UNICEF, KFAS (Kuwait), KHDA (UAE) and others.
