Strategy and delivery at the intersection of AI, cloud and governance — measured, not claimed.
Every framework here ships with something you can open, use and test — a book, a build kit, a measurement method, a live tool.
A student’s field guide to the past, present and future of artificial intelligence — from the birth of neural networks to the age of large language models, told as one structured, immersive journey.
Learn AI by playing. An arcade of browser games — the RIO Retail Ops quiz, the KYC challenge and more — that make AI literacy stick.
One platform team owns the paved road — runtime, guardrails, connectors, evaluations, pipelines — and delivery squads compose agents on top. Seven floors, four spines, and the code to build every layer.
Most Copilot programmes measure whether people enjoy the tool. PROOF measures whether it moved delivery — built on the HBS AI Institute’s causal field evaluation work.
Describe a strategic challenge and get a C-suite quality brief — recommended actions, a this-week priority and a watch metric — built on the QueBIT xP&A method: analyse, plan, achieve.
Live products from planetAI LLP and my open repositories. All of them run in the browser.
Peer-reviewed and independent work on how AI should be measured, governed and adopted — every material claim sourced.
Enterprises are adopting large language models faster than they can account for their environmental cost. The paper introduces the GREEN-LLM Index — an instrument that turns the energy, water and carbon intensity of real LLM use into one auditable score, with concrete levers to improve it.
Testing launch claims on accuracy, cost, tokens and latency against your own tasks, then grading each with a statistically grounded verdict. With Bhavin Maheshwari.

As AI reshapes every workflow, the scarcest resource is no longer processing power — it’s the capacity for informed human judgment.
Embed human oversight at every stage of an AI solution’s design — not as a final checkpoint.
Deploy judgment where it’s irreplaceable: distribution edges, high-stakes decisions, novel situations.
Efficiency forgone to preserve expertise is a strategic investment, not an inefficiency.
Scrutinise the metrics tracked, the populations sampled and how fast success was declared.
Those who can govern AI build after-action reviews into every deployment cycle.
From testing mission-critical aviation and telecom systems to leading AI-powered enterprise transformation — every step intentional.
My twenty-year journey began by building a bedrock of reliability: perfecting mission-critical testing for global aviation and telecom companies.
That foundation grew into mastering enterprise complexity — directing delivery for intricate financial ecosystems and turning rigorous SLA management into a business advantage.
Today I lead AI transformation at TCS as Delivery Partner for South Africa and AI Champion for the Middle East and Africa — bridging technical innovation with measurable, long-term organisational gains.
Human oversight belongs at every stage, not as a final checkpoint.
Ramping teams, mentoring talent and delivery structures that sustain growth.
AI amplifies capability; it doesn’t replace the wisdom governance requires.
$2.4M KTLO projects at 54% operating margin. Results that compound.
End-to-end “Move to the Cloud” programmes on Microsoft Azure — rehost, re-platform and re-architect — at enterprise scale with zero-surprise operations.
ML models in Azure DevOps for CI/CD error prediction, and Copilot across every phase of the migration lifecycle for faster time to market.
Production-grade agents: system design, strict tool schemas, RAG pipelines, reliability, security layers, evaluation and product thinking.
Agile delivery at scale — planning, estimation, budgeting, stakeholders and risk — with 100% SLA compliance on complex multi-team programmes.
Frameworks for oversight at scale — verifying designs, routing work intelligently, preserving expertise and treating verification as strategy.
Built teams from 20 to 80 in a month. Mentoring, performance, attrition and cross-training that keep quality high under pressure.
Leading customer engagement across TCS South Africa and championing AI adoption for the Middle East and Africa — turning AI strategy into delivered, measured outcomes.
Led flagship “Move to the Cloud” programmes on Azure for AXA XL (reinsurance) and LSEG (capital markets), with AI-driven planning for migration, change and quality. Directed teams of 80 FTE.
Led delivery for IDN, Convertible Bonds and Refinitiv real-time data feed handlers. Directed 47 FTE across C++, Java, .NET and SQL on RHEL, and moved internal tools from Bangkok to the UK.
Led the evolution of Eikon 1 to Eikon 4 over four years — a complex multi-version product transformation across investment banking research platforms.
