AI & Technology Advisor · Hangzhou, China
Where AIearnsits keep.
I help teams work out where AI genuinely earns its keep (agents included) and I say so plainly when it doesn't. I do it from Hangzhou, the city behind DeepSeek, Qwen and Unitree: fluent in both AI ecosystems, beholden to neither.
What I do
Where I'm useful
Where AI earns its keep
Working out where AI genuinely earns a place in how you operate, and saying so plainly when it doesn't. I've watched too many demos die on the way to production to sell you one.
Chinese AI & robotics, decoded
Is DeepSeek safe to build on? Are the robots as far along as the videos suggest? I read the launches, the papers and the local chatter so you don't have to.
Cross-border, both ways
Chinese teams finding their feet in the wider world. Western teams working out what to make of Chinese technology. I've lived on both sides of that gap, and crossed it enough times to know where it's narrowest.
The decade before AI
A decade in London technology before AI was the job. My speciality was data and integration, which turns out to be most of what it needs in production.
