Profile

Where analytical rigor
meets executive precision

Six continuous years supporting a Founder across a global multi-entity organization spanning media, nonprofit, and digital platforms — built on a foundation most executive professionals do not have: a doctorate in Applied Mathematics.

I manage 20+ weekly meetings with zero conflicts across NA, EU, APAC, and Oceania; triage 15–20 international priority emails daily; and serve as the Founder's first-line escalation owner. I own board preparation cycles, liaise directly with outside counsel on legal review, and deliver structured financial reporting to the CFO.

Beyond operations, I built and launched Annie the Agent — a live AI platform with two purpose-built agents, including Amelia, an AI copilot designed specifically for executive assistants — and hold an active peer-reviewed research record. My Ph.D. training is not decorative; it shapes how I analyze, structure, and communicate at speed.

Introduces a constant-coefficient preconditioner for the Serre-Green-Naghdi (SGN) constraint operator with rigorous bounds on the preconditioned condition number — incorporating bathymetry effects in two dimensions, guaranteeing mesh-independent performance for Krylov methods, and developing two linearly implicit time integration strategies for dispersive shallow water wave equations.

AI Platform

Built from scratch,
two agents live

In Active Development · Two Agents · Demo Available
Annie the Agent — Any Agent. Always Ahead.

A platform I independently designed and built — a growing suite of purpose-built AI agents, each engineered to handle a specific operational job end to end. Two agents currently deployed, with a phased roadmap extending into deeper workflow integration.

Annie is a 24/7 AI booking agent for home service businesses — answers every customer, detects emergencies, confirms service area by ZIP code, and schedules automatically. Amelia is an AI copilot for executive assistants — organising the inbox, preparing meeting briefs, tracking tasks, transcribing meetings, and delivering a sharp daily brief. As a practising EA, I am Amelia's primary user and tester, applying my real workflow daily to shape and refine the product.

Both agents reflect the same thinking I bring to executive operations — systematic, scalable, built to run without lifting a finger.
