About Me.
Data and AI
I'm a data science and AI leader and I focus mainly on Generative AI, experimentation, causal analysis and the future of the world in AI. I benchmark models, prototype LLMs, build agent workflows, build RAG agents and everything in between. Besides being obsessed with mathematics and the speed of how AI is taking over the world, I spend a lot of my time teaching mentoring up and coming data professionals across university apprenticeship programmes.
Credentials-wise: I have an MSc in Computer Science and Data Science from Sunderland (Distinction, dissertation on audio diffusion and generative music, yes really), BSc in Statistics, and a Diploma in Datametrics and Statistics from UNISA. Did Stanford's Generative AI programme last year. I'm also a member of the Royal Statistical Society with my first academic paper in the works.
Music
Music has been around since my dad gave me my first guitar lesson and it's been a thread in my life for as long as I can remember. I have been DJing and producing since 2005, mostly house and techno. My track "Come Back Home" sat at number 1 on the 5fm chart for 12 weeks and finished as overall number 1 on the 2016 South African Top 100 charts. My third solo album picked up a South African Music Awards (SAMA) nomination in 2020 for Best Pop Album. I have produced a total of 5 solo albums and a multitude of single releases since then.
I've headlined Ultra South Africa, the Bahrain Formula One official afterparties and countless festivals and clubs around the world, shared stages with legends such as Armin van Buuren, Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox, Swedish House Mafia, Tiësto, and thousands of others over my career.
I spend my time now releasing music on my independent record label 3 Girls Music.
