Services
I design and build AI applications, data products, and software platforms, help institutions govern AI safely, and help development partners understand who digital finance really reaches. Every offer below is built on work I have done in practice, not only studied.
01 · Banks, savings and loans, microfinance institutions, fintechs, and insurers
Staff are already using AI tools, vendors are selling AI features, and boards are asking how any of it is controlled. Most institutions have no inventory, no policy, and no clear owner.
Format
Fixed scope and fixed fee, typically three to four weeks
Why me
Author of the SAFER AI Risk Toolkit, used to govern AI inside a regulated commercial bank.
02 · Banks, fintechs, institutions, and growing companies that want AI in production, not in a slide deck
Most AI projects stall between a promising demo and a system staff can trust with real work: wrong answers, data that cannot leave the building, and no one who owns it after launch.
Format
Proof of concept in two to four weeks, then a scoped build to production
Why me
Built a natural-language-to-SQL engine and a local LLM assistant in Microsoft Teams for a commercial bank, and the AI platform behind OneRubric.
03 · Compliance, risk, and IT security teams in regulated institutions
Customer names, account numbers, and internal figures get pasted into public AI tools every day. Blocking the tools rarely works; staff find a way around.
Format
A pilot with one team, then a licence for wider rollout
Why me
Builder of SAFER X REDACT, a commercial data-loss-prevention product for AI prompts.
04 · Banks and fintechs without a large in-house data team
Reports take days, managers wait on a small analytics team, and dashboards get built but not used.
Format
Scoped sprint, typically six to ten weeks
Why me
Built a natural-language-to-SQL engine and a productivity-analytics platform used by more than 3,000 bank staff.
05 · CTOs, IT heads, founders, and project sponsors
Systems grow by accident: batch jobs nobody understands, integrations that break, and products that cannot pass a security or audit review. Fixing it later costs far more than designing it well.
Format
Fixed-fee review (two to three weeks), or a scoped design-and-build engagement
Why me
Designed a real-time core-banking streaming architecture, and built SAFER X REDACT end to end: storefront, payment checkout, and cryptographic licensing.
06 · Development partners, donors, research institutes, and NGOs
Account ownership numbers look good on paper, but they rarely show who actually controls and uses the account, or why people stop trusting a service.
Format
Individual consultant or research lead, by day rate or fixed deliverables
Why me
PhD on trust in rural mobile money (the Dynamic Rural Trust Model), published with CGAP / FinEquity (World Bank Group).
07 · Boards, leadership teams, and learning and development units
Leaders are asked to approve AI projects and policies without a clear picture of what the technology does, what it risks, and what good governance looks like.
Format
Half-day to multi-day sessions, in person in Accra or online
Why me
Eight years lecturing information systems and business intelligence at GIMPA.
