I teach and speak about what I've actually lived.
From AI governance and risk management to how AI actually works. From quantitative finance to practical investment risk management. From React frontends to Python backends. From technology to art.
I teach because explaining complex ideas simply makes me understand them better. I try to blend PhD-level understanding of AI research with real-world risk management and regulatory experience, delivered with the clarity that comes from having taught thousands of learners, from kids learning coding to CEOs of financial institutions interested in data science.

Whether addressing regulators, training data scientists, or speaking to an audience of bankers, my goal remains constant: making complex ideas accessible. My approach combines academic rigor with practitioner insight, because I've been both a risk manager, a regulator writing the rules, as well as a researcher pushing the boundaries.
Topics span technical (Python to Javascript, machine to deep learning, graph neural networks to transformers) to strategic (AI governance, risk management, corporate readiness for AI) to unexpected (what art teaches us about algorithms).
Available for keynotes, workshops, and courses that bridge technical depth with strategic thinking from 1 Jan. 2026 onwards.
