THE WORK

Research, ventures, and delivery work.

My practice spans applied research, founder work, and delivery. The common thread: how organisations actually translate analytical insight and AI capability into operational reality, and what it takes to do that responsibly.

RESEARCH

How people make sense of complex systems.

My research examines how people make sense of complex systems, and how digital platforms shape that meaning-making. Across healthcare technology, digital culture, social psychology, and now AI governance, the common thread is the same: when systems mediate human judgement, the mediation matters.

FOUNDER

Aethryna Digital Skills Co-op CIC.

Closing digital capability gaps.

Aethryna Digital Skills Co-op CIC exists because the digital skills gap is not a content problem. It is an access problem.

There is no shortage of training material online. What is missing for most underrepresented learners is structured access, applied practice, and community accountability: the conditions that turn information into capability. Skills Co-op is the CIC's core programme, built around those three things.

The CIC operates as a member-led platform. Learners commit to a pathway, work through applied skill-building together, and surface their progress in convening sessions where practitioners join the conversation.

Built on a belief that expertise should be shared, not gatekept.

CONVENER

Skills Co-op Sessions.

Real conversations about skills, work and opportunity.

Skills Co-op Sessions is the convening arm of the CIC. Each session brings together practitioners, learners, and people shaping the future of work for an honest conversation about a single question.

The format is deliberate: small enough to make space for difficult questions, structured enough that the conversation produces something usable. Sessions are recorded and the most useful exchanges are shared back.

If you are a practitioner who wants to contribute, a learner who wants to participate, or a partner organisation interested in hosting a session, get in touch.

DELIVERY

Delivery work.

Seven years leading digital and data programmes across healthcare, telecoms, fintech, and remote-first digital services. The pattern across all of them: regulated, multi-stakeholder, with real consequences if delivery slips.

3.2 million users

National telemedicine platform across four telecoms operators

Led end-to-end delivery of a national telemedicine platform reaching 3.2 million users across four major telecoms operators during Nigeria's 5G rollout. First voice-based clinician access for users in low-bandwidth regions. Coordinated business, technical, regulatory, and supplier stakeholders across four networks simultaneously.

Zero service disruption

Multi-phase platform migration, 2,000+ users, zero service disruption

Delivered a multi-phase platform migration affecting 2,000 users in a remote-first digital services environment. Zero service disruption through structured risk management, governance assurance, and cross-functional coordination.

800+ staff, full coordination

Full IT environment upgrade, 800+ staff

Managed a complete IT environment upgrade for 800+ staff, coordinating provisioning, data migration, approvals, testing schedules, and implementation readiness. Regulatory compliance maintained throughout.

DSR-led attrition reduction

Workforce stability intervention, Design Science Research methodology

Designed and led a workforce stability intervention in a regulated contact centre using Design Science Research methodology. Combined training redesign, peer-support systems, and real-time attrition analytics. The intervention worked, and is currently being written up for peer-reviewed publication.
