I am the AI and Machine Learning Lead Expert in the e-commerce industry, where I spearhead innovative projects that transform customer experiences, optimise business operations, and drive intelligent decision-making at scale. My work leverages deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and multimodal AI systems to build impactful, production-grade solutions. In addition to my industry leadership, I serve as a Research Associate at Auckland University of Technology’s Institute of Biomedical Technologies (IBTec), where my research focuses on the application of AI in healthcare, specifically in major depressive disorder, chronic anxiety, lung cancer, and osteoarthritis. I am passionate about using machine learning, biomedical imaging, and precision diagnostics to enhance early detection, treatment personalisation, and patient outcomes across these critical areas of health. I am also the Founder and Director of Helium AI Solutions, an AI consultancy and innovation hub that delivers customised AI-driven technologies across healthcare, e-commerce, and scientific domains. Through Helium AI Solutions, I collaborate with international experts, clinicians, and researchers to translate cutting-edge AI research into practical, real-world applications.
