Hi, I'm a technical developer and advisor specialising in mobile learning and educational technology.

Currently I’m dedicating some personal research time to exploring AI in Education. My focus is on how AI tools can be appropriately used to create personalised learning pathways and adaptive content to enhance learner engagement and outcomes. 

Over the past 15 years, my work has centred on deploying OppiaMobile, an open-source mobile learning platform designed for low-connectivity and resource-constrained environments, prioritising offline functionality. I have supported the implementation of educational technologies to improve the training of rural health workers, primarily in Ethiopia and across Liberia, Uganda, Nigeria, India, Zambia, Ghana, Lebanon, and Pakistan. 

While OppiaMobile has successfully delivered standardised learning content, I believe a shift toward personalised, adaptive learning is a more appropriate approach, especially for continuous professional development.

I’m a strong advocate for Open Source Software, Agile Methodologies, and  Creative Commons licensing, all of which inform my approach to technology and innovation in education.

I'm keen to connect with others working in AI in Education, so if you're interested then please feel free to get in touch! (email or LinkedIn)
