Selected portfolio
Strategy made usable.
I work across AI products, education-system transformation, publishing and professional learning. The common thread is practical design: clear decisions, evidence, capable teams and delivery that works in context.
Featured case study
Digital Education Leadership Programme
Co-designed by Cambridge, UNICEF and GPE, DELP supported more than 40 leaders from 17 countries through a five-month, seven-module journey from system frameworks to national action planning.

Recent work
Some client and ministry details remain general where the work is confidential or where public approval is limited.
HP Cambridge EdTech Fellowship
I provide technical input on practical AI, responsible implementation and low-resource delivery, and I facilitate the annual residency week in Cambridge. The Fellowship has welcomed 122 leaders across regions.
AI capacity-building for African civil society
I designed and delivered the first two-day ECOSOCC-Cambridge workshop in Nairobi. More than 1,200 organisations applied for 50 places. The work focused on fundraising, project management, reporting and responsible use.
Future Educator: AI for STEM teachers
I led Cambridge’s side of a blended KFAS programme for 50 STEM teachers: online learning, workshops at Kuwait University, coaching and a train-the-trainer cohort of ten.
AI-assisted publishing for a national ministry
A national ministry brought a textbook submission deadline forward by six months. I designed a retrieval-augmented workflow on Cambridge-owned content, orchestrated in n8n, to accelerate first-draft production without removing subject and editorial review.
The pipeline produced 70 to 80 per cent of first drafts in five weeks. Every output passed specialist and editorial review, and the titles were approved. The recorded pre-publication development cost was about 25 per cent lower than the traditional baseline.
KHDA and ADEK programmes
For Cambridge Partnership projects in the UAE, I have designed technical solutions, costed bids, recruited specialist teams and helped manage delivery.
- KHDA: a review of AI and education technology across Dubai private schools, linked to policy, implementation and monitoring.
- ADEK: an AI-enabled pedagogy model and implementation toolkit for private schools in Abu Dhabi.
Designing Assessments with AI
Accredited Assessment Network series that I designed and have delivered across four cohorts. Three live sessions, six CPD hours, with generation, review and quality assurance kept in the same workflow.
Alongside it I designed a 10-module Generative AI for Policymakers curriculum covering foundations, readiness, governance, equity, infrastructure, capability, impact and assessment.
Local-language readers for USAID Let’s Read
I led language adaptation, quality assurance and stakeholder management for early-grade readers in seven Zambian languages, coordinating teams in Zambia and South Africa. USAID records Cambridge as supporting over 1.4 million local language readers.
Worldreader mobile reading partnership
I initiated Cambridge South Africa’s first technology-NGO partnership, making 390 African-language e-books freely available on Worldreader’s feature-phone app, including the Cambridge African Language Library.
A longer publishing record
Worldreader and the later Zambia readers sit in a longer stretch of digital publishing and local-language access work. Current AI programmes build on that practice.
How I work
Evidence, context and delivery stay connected.
Separate independent work: NiallOS is my personal lab for context, decisions and agent-assisted professional work. It is not represented as a Cambridge client project.
Discuss a programme, product or system challenge
I can help frame the opportunity, design a practical route, assemble the right team and put evidence and quality gates around delivery.
