I design complex enterprise products where security analysts and AI make decisions together. At Sophos I lead UX for AI experiences, from a conversational assistant to agent-driven investigation.
Side Quests
Word War
A naval word game: sweep the grid with radar, then type each ship’s word to torpedo it. The third take on the idea, after a React prototype and Typemariner, rebuilt in 3D for phone and desktop.
Bonsai
A generative garden: plant, tend and graft on a grid, where every plant is drawn from code in one of nine art styles.
