Background
I am a UK High Court Enforcement Officer, one of only 48 individuals authorised by the Lord Chancellor to enforce High Court writs across England and Wales. This statutory appointment requires operating under formal accountability frameworks where decisions carry direct legal and financial consequences, and where those decisions are subject to post-incident scrutiny.
Before my current role, I served as a Police Constable and Acting Sergeant with Hampshire Constabulary, where I was twice commended for bravery and investigative work. I qualified as a Sexual Offence Investigation Trained (SOIT) officer and passed the CID National Investigators Exam, working on a Priority Crime Team.
I have founded and operated multiple businesses across enforcement, consultancy, property, and debt recovery. This entrepreneurial background, combined with frontline operational experience, gives me a practical understanding of how decisions are made under pressure and what happens when they go wrong.

Technical capability
Since late 2024, I have been building and testing local AI deployments at scale. This includes working with large language models, developing AI agents, and creating automation systems. My focus is on understanding how these systems behave under realistic operational constraints: where they fail, where they exhibit overconfidence, and where outputs disagree between models.
This technical work is not theoretical. I run systematic testing infrastructure and maintain practical deployment experience. This allows me to have informed conversations with technical teams and to evaluate AI systems from a position of direct knowledge rather than reliance on vendor claims.
Why this matters for Bot Research
Bot Research exists because most organisations adopting AI do not have independent capability to assess whether their reliance on AI outputs is reasonable. They understand what the systems produce; they rarely understand how those outputs are being relied upon, or where accountability has quietly shifted from human judgement to machine output.
My background combines the technical capability to understand AI systems with the operational experience of working in roles where decisions have consequences and where accountability is not optional. I have operated under frameworks where post-incident scrutiny is standard. This shapes how I approach AI risk: with the perspective of someone who knows what it means when things go wrong.
