Work I'm Proud Of

Results that moved the needle

2026In Progress

Building the agentic intelligence layer

Rolling out Claude Code org-wide and designing the shared agentic infrastructure that will underpin how every function does knowledge work.

Full context

Situation: AI tooling is still siloed by team. No shared intelligence layer connecting how the business thinks, decides, and operates across functions.

Action: Leading the org-wide rollout of Claude Code with training enablement across all functions. Designing the backend infrastructure for a shared agentic intelligence layer that connects knowledge and decision-making across the business.

Result: In progress. Building toward a future where every function operates on a shared AI-native information layer, not isolated tools.

2025Lead Generation

2,000+ B2B leads in 6 weeks

Built 50+ multi-agent workflows to scrape, enrich, and score leads from unconventional data sources. No traditional providers needed.

Full context

Situation: Traditional data providers couldn't cover niche mid-market segments the business needed to reach.

Action: Designed and deployed 50+ multi-agent AI workflows using Clay, Apify, and custom pipelines to scrape unconventional channels, enrich company data, and score leads automatically.

Result: Generated 2,000+ net-new, highly engaged B2B leads in six weeks. Expanded pipeline into segments competitors couldn't touch.

2025GTM Engineering

Fully automated deal flow

Stood up GTM engineering from zero. CRM, enrichment, scoring, routing, all running autonomously.

Full context

Situation: Manual prospecting, fragmented pipelines, and no automation layer across Growth, Operations, and Sales.

Action: Led a cross-functional team to architect and deploy a unified CRM integration with custom data pipelines using n8n, Claude, and Gemini.

Result: Fully automated self-serve deal flow running without human intervention. From lead capture to qualified handoff.

2025Org Capability

105 AI agents built in one day

Designed and ran an org-wide L&D day where every team audited workflows and built functional AI agents.

Full context

Situation: Repetitive busy work consuming bandwidth across the organisation, with no systematic approach to automation.

Action: Designed and executed a dedicated L&D day guiding the entire workforce to audit internal workflows from first principles and build functional AI agents.

Result: 105 functional AI agents built in a single day. Generated a validated pipeline of high-impact automation opportunities across all departments.

2025Strategy

Discovered 40% larger TAM

Applied AI-augmented prospecting, intelligence, and targeting approaches that uncovered a 40% larger Total Addressable Market than previously understood.

Full context

Situation: The company's understanding of its total addressable market was based on traditional methods with limited reach and visibility.

Action: Applied AI-augmented prospecting and intelligence approaches across Growth, Operations, and Sales. Used automated targeting and enrichment to map market segments that manual methods had missed.

Result: Discovered a 40% larger TAM through AI-augmented intelligence and targeting, unlocking previously invisible market segments.

2025AI Systems

AI agent for legal, risk, and compliance

Built a RAG-based AI agent that automated routine queries across the legal, risk, and compliance team, reducing external counsel dependency.

Full context

Situation: The legal, risk, and compliance team was spending significant time on routine queries, increasing reliance on external counsel.

Action: Engineered a RAG-based AI agent trained on internal legal documentation to resolve routine queries and automate compliance tasks across the entire legal, risk, and compliance function.

Result: The team shifted focus to high-value strategic work while external counsel costs were reduced. Routine query resolution time dropped significantly.

2024Finance & Governance

Result: Delivered institutional-grade governance and financial controls that enabled the business to operate with confidence at scale.

2023Intelligence

Built market-leading token intelligence capability

Created a digital asset and token supply analysis system that became a strategic asset for the business, driving data-informed decisions across crypto and token operations.

Full context

Situation: Limited visibility into token supply dynamics and digital asset market intelligence, making strategic decisions harder to inform with data.

Action: Designed and built a bespoke token supply analysis and intelligence capability using custom data pipelines, blockchain explorer tools, and systematic audits across crypto assets.

Result: Delivered a market-leading token intelligence capability that became a key strategic input for leadership and business decisions.

Ask AI Aden

Black Hawk pilot turned AI builder. Ask about automation architecture, AI adoption, or operational decision-making.

Same AI architecture I build for companies. Live.

A

I think about AI differently to most people in this space. A decade in special operations aviation, then building production AI systems that actually run without someone babysitting them. I won't give you theory. Ask me something specific.
