CTO at Bullet AI | Building AI-Powered Healthcare Solutions for the Public Sector I lead technology strategy and product development at Bullet AI, where we're using AI to support some of society's most vulnerable populations. Our products help unpaid carers, support smoking cessation, and enable adult social care services for local councils. With over 15 years of web application development expertise behind me - including work with brands like Santander, Expedia, and Canderel - I've transitioned from hands-on development to strategic technical leadership. Today, I focus on architecture decisions, product direction, and building a talented development team that can deliver secure, compliant, and impactful solutions in the heavily regulated healthcare space. Working closely with public sector IT teams, I prioritise scalability, data security, and privacy by design. From DPIAs to Cyber Essentials certification, I understand that protecting personal information isn't just a checkbox - it's fundamental to building trust. We're proving that AI can be a force for social good when it's built with the right expertise, compliance rigor, and genuine understanding of public sector needs.
