About

👋

I am a technologist and entrepreneur with an academic background and over 20 years of experience in product development, artificial intelligence, and building and growing technology companies.

My work focusses on applying AI and emerging technologies to solve real-world business problems.

I’ve authored several books and academic papers on AI and multi-agent systems and write/speak frequently on the topic. You can also check out my videos and talks.

I run a Substack newsletter called AgentsDecoded.com where I share my thoughts on AI agents and multi-agent systems.

Throughout my career, I’ve enjoyed exploring the application of cutting-edge technology to real user needs. Hand in hand with that I’m constantly learning how to create work environments where people can thrive, fostering both professional growth and personal wellbeing in an open way.
