CTO and co-founder
An AI platform for PhD students, built to attack a 70% dropout rate.
- Led product and engineering from the first prototype through to pilots at universities across Ireland, the UK, Canada and India.
- Built research tooling, peer networking and manuscript support into one product, aimed at the point where doctoral candidates actually drop out rather than at the symptoms.
- Took it to market on two tracks at once: individual student subscriptions alongside institutional licensing, which meant a product that had to satisfy a candidate and a university procurement process at the same time.
- Signed 50k in letters of intent, alongside further university letters that carried commitment rather than funding.
