WORK HISTORY
Chief Technology Officer at Shunka Ai @Shunka Ai
GB
At Shunka.ai, I design AI-powered systems that transform how students learn and how educators teach. Combining 30+ years of STEM teaching experience with coaching and counselling expertise, plus the innovation mindset of an XPRIZE alumnus, I\'ve built an education platform that supports GCSE and A-level learning through automation, personalisation, and expert insight.Building on the Darwin AI tutor, my work at Shunka.ai focuses on:Developing subject-specific AI agents (Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics) aligned with UK exam boards that incorporate coaching methodologies for deeper learningCreating automated workflows to reduce teacher and tutor workloads — including marking assistance, revision planning, and real-time feedback deliveryIntegrating long-term memory and adaptive learning pathways via Supabase and GPT-based agents that respond to individual student needs and learning stylesDelivering support via WhatsApp, voice notes, and chat to meet learners where they are, including emotional and motivational coachingDesigning hybrid AI-human teaching models that combine academic instruction with pastoral care and student counselling supportBuilding systems that identify when students need additional emotional or motivational support beyond academic helpShunka.ai empowers educators while keeping students at the centre, recognising that effective learning involves both cognitive and emotional support. Our goal is simple: smarter support, less burnout, better outcomes through holistic education that nurtures the whole student.

I bridge education and technology.With 30+ years of experience as a STEM tutor, examiner, and international school Headteacher, I’ve guided thousands of students to success — including A-Level Chemistry scores of 269/270. But alongside teaching, I’ve spent decades building at the cutting edge of technology.AI & Automation → Founder & CTO at Shunka.ai, where I design AI-powered tutoring agents (Darwin) that reduce teacher workload, personalise learning, and support students 24/7 through WhatsApp and chat.Robotics & Engineering → Built an android for the $10M ANA Avatar XPRIZE, one of only two UK teams to qualify, integrating edge compute, custom fabrication, and novel haptics.Fintech & Data → Developed automation systems for real-time financial analytics, combining APIs, statistical models, and execution bots.Biotech & Sustainability → Established genetics labs (PCR & hormone assays), and built renewable energy systems (solar, wind, hydro, water filtration).I’m passionate about transforming education with AI, but my skill set spans automation, fintech, robotics, and applied engineering. What ties it all together is a single goal: turning complex challenges into real, working solutions. If you’re exploring AI in education, automation, or cross-domain innovation, let’s connect.
