AI Solutions Engineer

I've been the analyst stuck in repetitive work. Now I build the automations that fix it.

Started at PrecisionLife doing competitive research and partner assessments. The kind of work that was high-value but manual and time-consuming. That's when I started building automated tools. First for myself, then my team, then as my actual job. Now at Multiverse, previously Fifth Dimension.

Where I add value

I build automations grounded in how the work actually gets done, because I've been the one doing it. Working systems in days, not months. Then iteration based on what people actually use.

At a glance

Built tools first for myself, then my team, then as my job. Always starting with the manual work.
One automation replaced £24k/year in market research spend. Still running, two years later.

Background

How I got here

Business analyst turned AI builder. I always do the job manually first so I know what's actually worth automating.

Business analyst in biotech

Began in business analyst roles doing competitive research, partner assessments, and strategy work. The kind that went out of date the moment it was finished.

Building better ways

Saw smart teams stuck in tedious tasks, so I built automated tools using AI first for myself, then for my team, then as my job. The goal: remove the slog, keep the insight.

Automated away

The competitive intelligence automation replaced external spend and ran quarterly. Turns out understanding the problem matters more than knowing the tooling.

Same pattern, new domains

Applied the approach at Fifth Dimension (real estate) and Multiverse (edtech): find the bottleneck, define good-enough, ship quickly, iterate with usage.

What I've built

Real tools, real problems

Internal tools, client solutions, and sales prototypes. All built to solve a specific problem someone actually had.

Operations automation

At Multiverse, I've built and delivered multiple projects to improve workflows for coaches. The goal is to free up their time so they can focus on apprenticeships rather than admin.

Outcome

Keeps revenue per employee increasing by removing manual repetitive work

Client solutions and enterprise PoCs

At Fifth Dimension, I built AI solutions for clients and proof of concept prototypes for prospective deals. That meant scoping in discovery calls, building demos, presenting them live, and answering technical questions.

Outcome

PoCs generated $120k+ in pipeline by progressing deals to contract negotiation.

Internal tools

The partner assessment tool at PrecisionLife automated data gathering and first line of screening for the commercial team. Structured outputs replaced hours of prep work.

Outcome

30-50% efficiency improvement; the team spends time on decisions, not data pulls and first line screening.

I track these so I know what actually worked. Not vanity metrics.

Projects

Three projects I can walk you through

Three projects I can actually walk you through. Cost reduction, internal tooling, and a customer feature.

Cost reduction

Competitive Intelligence Automation

R&D leadership needed coverage across 8 diagnostic market segments and manual reports took weeks. Purchasing off the shelf reports would have cost £24k annually. I built a Make automation that runs quarterly, pulls Exa Search data on market segments, extracts data using Google Gemini, saves it to Airtable, and uses OpenAI models to create a executive summary report.

Outcome

£24k annual spend avoided. Delivered new business capability to generate competitive intelligence reports on demand.

Internal tooling

Partner Assessment Tool

The commercial team spent hours gathering, structuring, evaluating prospect information. I built an AI-powered automation that takes a list of companies and prompts Perplexity to gather research information on each company, evaluates it against partnering criteria using OpenAI models, and stores everything in a structured format in Airtable for instant use by the commercial team.

Outcome

30-50% efficiency improvement - time to carry out partner assessments reduced from hours to minutes.

Customer product features

Multi-Document Batch Analysis

Enterprise customers needed the ability to quickly find answers across many real estate documents at once. I shipped a customer-validated feature that parallelised question analysis, removed hours of manual review, and paired it with an explainer Loom for adoption.

Outcome

Boosted customer satisfaction and retention by cutting customer document analysis to minutes.

I work best when you can describe the manual process that needs automating. If you've been the one doing it by hand and can show me the problem, I'll help you build a useful solution.
