The AI Collective

Started as chapter lead running tech meetups in Johannesburg and Cape Town. Built communities where engineers and business leaders actually talk about what AI means for South Africa.

Now I'm Director for Africa. Goal is simple: launch 20 chapters across the continent by Q4 2025. Get people in every major city talking, building, and solving local problems with AI.

Planning an African AI Summit next year to bring everyone together and show what we're building here.

Co-Founder

Tune Protect Group

My role is complex but not uncommon. I leverage my experience of digitising legacy processes and my ability to keep up with the latest technical trends to simplify solutions. 

My journey at Tune Protect started in Demand Management. The role was heavily reliant on operational skill sets and expected technical expertise on dealing with change requests and project delivery methodologies. 

I introduced daily scrums into the delivery teams by coaching organisational members on agile. 

I put into place, approval process and digital capture methods to speed up the current back and forth processes to obtain sign offs. 

I managed approval process for all change requests on every core system and subsidiary support functions. 

I created a transparent feedback culture within the legacy support teams and I bridged the gap between business entities and group IT functions. 

I hosted and ran monthly compliance and regulatory steering committees with the current ExCom. 

I did the Opex and Capex budgeting for the Malaysian IT function. 

I spearheaded technical initiative to introduce new technologies/frameworks into the organisation such as NextJs, ReactJs and assisted with FlutterFlow builds. 

The above mentioned was a very people heavy, stakeholder emphasised role which was both non technical and very hands on technical. 
I did gain experience in organisational management dealings from a hands off approach and using this, I transitioned into a specialist role doing a combination of both development and organisational management.
