I build useful things
with code, AI, and a human touch.
Real problems. Thoughtful software. A little bit of magic.
Read the case study Every quantity. A source behind it.
Read the case study Calls, messages, and the work that happens next.
Read the case study A connected AI workspace with human judgment at its core.
Explore project AI-powered, voice-activated assistant for real-world tasks.
I'm Maida, an AI engineer and software builder with a simple belief: technology should make life feel a little easier.
My work lives at the intersection of software engineering and human-level AI. From voice assistants to entire platforms, I turn complicated problems into things people can actually use.
I'm connected to the University of Sydney, and I care just as much about the experience on the screen as the systems behind it.
Building products, leading teams, and connecting the dots along the way.
