Construction and infrastructure professional working at the intersection of project delivery and applied AI. I build and publish frameworks for how construction organisations make decisions — and increasingly, the tools that support them.
Based in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. Working internationally.
- Construction leadership frameworks — GCLM / AI-GCLM, a research line on AI-enhanced decision-making in global construction management
- Applied AI and automation — practical tools for project delivery, reporting and decision support, rather than research prototypes
- Digital ventures — e-commerce and web systems operated across the Papple group
I publish open-access research on AI-enabled construction leadership. All papers are self-archived with DOIs:
