Practice
Creative technology and AI engineering as one practice: platform experience, emerging-technology R&D, and a venture studio that ships.
Web, mobile and connected TV for global streaming — DAZN, NFL, UEFA, Discovery, WarnerMedia, BBC, Sky, MGM and Formula 1 — from pitch prototype to production design system.
Seven-plus years leading emerging-technology R&D: LLMs, diffusion, agents, knowledge graphs, vector retrieval, ONNX and WebGPU — translated for creative, engineering and executive rooms.
Founded an AI consultancy and venture studio. Products from opportunity validation through architecture, working prototype and commercial model — including CursorPluginKits, SendApply.pro, and an AI-first agency system for TBWA\ The Disruption Company.

Now
Most generated work is plausible. The interesting problem is identity, constraint and continuity — Brand DNA that machines can follow, agent teams that can be audited, and emotional or memory systems that people can actually trust.
That is the through-line from CNN control rooms, Coca-Cola’s global marketing intranet, Deltatre’s sports platforms, and the TEKNOLED-G products: CursorPluginKits, SendApply, Punctilio, BDNA, Squadbox, AKITA, THRPY, SensAffect, MMRY and the rest.
