Product, Strategy & Innovation

Co-founder & CEO

Biological signals, decoded. Electrochemical assays with the analytics layer built in, spun out of Imperial's Güder Lab. TRL 5, three Gates Foundation grants, ConceptionX Cohort 9.

Founder

The social calendar for plans that actually happen. Most plans die in a group chat; Friyays turns the intention into a date everyone can see. On the App Store, Android in beta, plus browser and MCP.

Co-founder, Product & Operations

Science media for curious thinkers. Joined as the first employee, built the product across iOS, back-office and web, then moved to London to open the production office. Returned in 2024 as co-founder and fractional lead.

Co-founder & CEO

Embedding humanitarian engineering into university curricula. 28 projects, 130+ students and four universities, with £200k+ of follow-on funding raised by the ventures that came out of it. Imperial's Outstanding Student Achievement award, 2017.

Two products under one roof. Prologue is offline-first prompt capture, built to catch a thought before it evaporates, on TestFlight, in the browser and over MCP. Tandem is collaborative coding, in beta.

Supporting sustainable tourism in the Rwenzori, Uganda, and across East Africa. Built for Nelson Mbazima, a guide on Mt Stanley and Peak Margherita who had the expertise and the photographs but no way for anyone to find him.

Productivity set-up, inspired by fellow builders. Health, finance, projects and inbox in one dashboard over a text-first knowledge base and a fleet of scheduled agents. Private, detail on request.

Developed the strategy for the transition from a B2C business model to a B2B one, driven by partnerships with research institutions.

A resource to enable universities, students and innovators to build new technologies collaboratively and inclusively.

Co-authored at Rozzeta Dolah's invitation, separately from the mentoring. Optimising a nanopaint that lowers building temperature passively, using the Taguchi method. Journal of Advanced Research in Micro and Nano Engineering, indexed in Scopus.

Design research for low-resource contexts in Anthony Bull's lab, covering prosthetics and assistive devices, with fieldwork in Cambodia and Tanzania alongside amputees, their families and health workers. Two post-docs took the work on afterwards and it spun out as Go Assistive Technology, now building all-terrain lower-limb prosthetics.

Editorial support and review, working with Emily Mayhew. The first field manual for treating children injured by explosive weapons, from Imperial's Centre for Blast Injury Studies with Save the Children. Now translated into eight languages and in use across conflict zones.

Advisory Board Member

Advisory board support to four engineering ventures across two Advance cohorts, run with St John's Innovation Centre in Cambridge, covering business model, pricing, go-to-market and investor readiness. Mizu Paint, a carbon-capturing alternative to conventional paint out of Malaysia. Ekomuro H2O+, vertical rainwater walls built from recycled PET bottles in Colombia. Mamlo Foods, women-led decentralised peanut processing in Kenya. And Yo-Waste, on-demand waste collection in Kampala.

Advisor

Advisory support as Paige spun out of inaglobe. Paige Connect adapts a braille writer for instant translation and gamified learning, and is now used by over a thousand teachers and learners.

Advisor

Advisory support as Phillbox spun out of inaglobe. A smart pillbox improving medication adherence for children and adolescents at Casa do Gaiato in Maputo, Mozambique, where high HIV prevalence had left health workers monitoring chronic illness by hand.

A booking tool from scratch. DST-correct availability solved across every calendar I run, and server-side booking so invitees never had to authenticate. Retired once Google shipped the same thing in a plan I was already paying for.
