About the Author

Coding since age 7. First IT business at 23. MSc in research psychology. Harvard AI certificate. 12+ years building AI and modeling systems.

I've watched AI go from academic curiosity to boardroom buzzword. I've built systems that worked and systems that failed. I've seen vendors promise the moon and deliver a rock.

This book is what I wish someone had handed me five years ago — a skeptical, practical, deeply researched guide to working with AI without losing your mind or your job.

I live in South Africa with my partner Donné, daughter Tayla, and four dogs. I play tennis and padel. I wear an Apple Watch. I don't have a garden.
