I’m the CTO of Refr, an AI healthcare startup dedicated to helping patients access the care they need, faster. As the sole full-stack developer on the team, I’ve led technology stack selection, architecting the core platform, and taking Refr all the way from a back-of-the-envelope idea through to a real Read more
Business-in-a-box: Applying AutoGen and multi-agent systems to an enterprise context Generative AI (GenAI) is revolutionizing how businesses engage with customers and streamline internal processes. However, scaling these innovations beyond a handful of use cases remains a significant challenge. Typically, enterprises build separate applications for different use cases— for example, a Read more
An interview with my deepfake digital twin I was involved in running a generative AI workshop, together with a group of colleagues, to train others in our business on how best to leverage these technologies. What better way to introduce the session than an “interview” between myself and my deepfake Read more
Deepfake Virtual Assistant Deepfakes are synthetically created videos, that use deep learning to swap the likeness of one person with another. When I was asked to host our team’s monthly showcase, I asked myself a question- is there a better way to do this? (note: turn on audio). I created Read more
Humanoid Robotics Humanoid robots provide artificial intelligence with a physical point of presence, allowing chatbots to escape the screen, blurring the lines between the digital and physical world. As part of Telstra’s humanoid program of work, I’ve had the opportunity to work on the Cruzr humanoid robotic platform, manufactured by Read more
Search and Rescue Telstra has built a UAV swarm in-house, for surveying and search and rescue applications. The swarm is made up of 9 drones which fly together in concert. With such rich aerial data sets and video available in real time, how might we better augment emergency response operations? Read more
My favourite aspect of augmented reality (AR) is how it blurs the distinction between the physical and digital worlds. I was asked as part of an innovation exercise to develop a rapid prototype of how AR could apply to banking. To children, receiving pocket money to a bank account just Read more
MaskRCNNs for Object Detection MaskRCNN is a region-based convolutional neural network, used for object detection. What makes this algorithm cutting edge is the ability to perform detections using a mask (outline of the object), not just by drawing a bounding box around the object of interest. By identifying each pixel Read more
