Anomancer

I build, test, read and compare models in practice. I look at them from technical, human and social positions because the same system can look very different depending on where you stand.

My original background is not in computer science. I trained as a practical nurse and disability support worker, and later as a ventilation installer. There was no ready-made path from there into AI research or technology. I ended up here mainly by building, studying and connecting things that do not necessarily belong in the same room on paper.

That probably explains how I look at technology too. I am rarely interested only in how a system works. I care just as much about what it does to people, what kinds of behaviour it creates, and what happens when a technical system meets the real world.

Systems thinker, concept designer and prototyper describe my work better than a single established title. If I need one name for the wider approach, I use Modular Creative Intelligence.
