AI exploration
Building and testing how well-designed AI can remove repetitive load while respecting compliance and sustainability.
Human + AI (the practical stance)
On the side, I explore how well-designed AI can remove repetitive load, reduce waste, and still respect compliance and sustainability. It's not about replacing people—it's about testing how human + AI can actually build better.
I'm currently validating this approach with the Nimbus Research Centre (MTU), backed by an Enterprise Ireland Innovation Voucher.
Cautious and optimistic
Eighteen months of hands-on trials taught me the difference between hype and value. In experienced hands, AI becomes a dependable assistant; in naive use, it creates risk.
I built and tested my own stack precisely to understand the boundaries and keep trust intact.
