Digital Readiness and Intelligent Systems Ltd. · Stockton-on-Tees, UK

• Owned strategy, roadmap and backlog for three AI products across 80+ sprints: RaiDOT (AI governance SaaS), AIquaBoost (aquaculture AI using IoT, computer vision and LLMs) and CADENCE (agentic AI for manufacturing).
• Led a team of up to 8 engineers, data scientists, designers and researchers across the UK and South Asia, plus external engineering suppliers. Wrote job descriptions, hired, onboarded and ran 1:1s and reviews. Managed suppliers with technical due diligence and sprint-level risk registers. When the outsourced mobile team collapsed 8 weeks before a funding milestone, I rebuilt the Flutter/Firebase app myself and delivered on time. The codebase then went back to the team.
• Installed and calibrated 8+ water-quality sensors for the AIquaBoost pilot at Swansea University. Managed the rollout at three commercial fish farms in Bangladesh. Sensor and app data traced high mortality to oxygen handling during transfer. Mortality fell from 60% to 40% within one production cycle.
• Wrote business cases, 5-year financial projections, KPIs and delivery plans for 10+ Innovate UK applications. 2 awarded, £190,000+ in total, all scoring 70%+. Reported progress against budget and milestones to funders.
• Led RaiDOT's go-to-market pivot after discovery showed SMEs were not ready for a risk assessment tool. Rebuilt it as a learning platform with 5 Responsible AI modules, a custom CMS and an AI assistant. Reached 250+ registered users across 20 SME organisations.
