About Me
"Useful AI. Honest systems. That's the goal."
I'm Naomi, an AI Lead & Builder.
With 7+ years in tech and the last 3+ deep in AI, I don't just love the research, I love shipping it. I turn ambitious, sometimes quirky ideas into models, agents and tools that people actually use every day.
I believe that great AI isn't just a clever demo. It earns trust, adapts as it scales and quietly makes real life easier. I connect research and product, bringing rigor, usability and execution together to turn models into real, measurable impact.
