About Me

Building the AI-Powered Future

I'm Ashley — a Senior Technology & AI Leader currently serving as AI Delivery Lead at Core42 (G42 Group), the UAE's National AI Company.

My journey spans AWS cloud solutions, retail technology transformation, AI program delivery, and enterprise digital strategy across Africa and the Middle East. I've led multi-million dollar technology initiatives, built high-performance teams, and delivered AI solutions that reshape entire industries — including the UAE Genome Program and national AI infrastructure.

I'm passionate about the intersection of people, technology, and impact. Whether I'm architecting AI transformation roadmaps for government entities, developing Expert Advisor trading bots, or building personal AI applications — I bring the same level of precision and drive to everything I do.

The Human Behind the Code

Beyond Work

Work is what I do, not who I am. When I step away from the office, here's what keeps me sharp, grounded, and growing.

AI Dev
AI Application Builder

In my personal time, I build AI-powered applications — LLM agents, RAG systems, automation tools, and experimental AI products. Always shipping something.

Trading
CFD & Futures Trader

Active CFD and futures trader. Developed several Expert Advisors and custom indicators on MetaTrader. I approach the markets with the same systematic thinking I bring to technology.

Fitness
Fitness & Discipline

I gym 4 times a week — calisthenics and dumbbells are my tools. Building physical strength mirrors the discipline I bring to building technology. A healthy body fuels a sharp mind.

Global
Global Citizen

Born in Zimbabwe. Worked across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. I believe the best ideas come from diverse perspectives — and I've had the privilege of collecting many.
