AI programmes for education systems
From ambitious ideas to practical systems.
I design and lead AI, digital-education and professional-learning programmes for ministries, education organisations and the people who deliver them.
Current: AI Product Lead at Cambridge University Press & Assessment. MEd researcher at UCT. Based in Cape Town, working globally.
Selected work
Work that connects strategy and delivery
Recent programmes span system leadership, AI-assisted publishing, teacher capability and education-policy implementation.
Featured case study

Five months, seven modules and more than 40 education leaders from 17 countries, connecting global frameworks to national digital-education decisions.

I designed and delivered the first ECOSOCC-Cambridge workshop: 50 places from more than 1,200 applications, focused on practical AI for funding, delivery and reporting.
AI-assisted publishing
A governed retrieval-augmented workflow helped a ministry publishing programme respond to a significantly compressed timetable while keeping subject and editorial review in the loop.

EdTech Fellowship
Technical consultant and facilitator for a five-month hybrid programme for senior education leaders, including the annual Cambridge residency week.

Project lead for Cambridge’s early-grade readers in seven Zambian languages, supporting USAID Let’s Read with more than 1.4 million books.
African-language readers on feature phones
I initiated Cambridge South Africa’s first technology-NGO partnership, putting 390 e-books including the Cambridge African Language Library onto Worldreader’s mobile app.
NiallOS
A personal operating system for context, decisions and agent-assisted work. It is a live laboratory for learning how AI can support complex professional practice.
