Software engineer with over 30 years of commercial development experience, now specialising in AI systems evaluation, LLM assessment, AI red teaming, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). I design, test, evaluate, and improve AI-powered applications, conversational agents, and LLM output quality with a strong focus on reliability, safety, and user experience. Through AgentK ai and client work (including Wallowfish), I assess AI systems under real-world and adversarial conditions—covering prompt injection attempts, conflicting instructions, hallucinations, retrieval failures, and edge-case conversational flows—before they reach production.
