## Entrepreneurship I have been building ventures since I was seventeen. At twenty, I co-founded **Funetics**, an English pronunciation software company that used machine learning to help non-native speakers improve spoken English. We raised seed funding through Telstra's muru-D accelerator and I led business development across Beijing, Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and Singapore. I was named **Australian National Champion at the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards** and represented Australia at the G20 Young Entrepreneurs' Alliance in Washington, DC. At twenty-one, I founded **CYALA** (the Council for Young Africans Living Abroad), a non-racial, non-religious and non-political social enterprise tackling structural barriers to employment facing African youth in Australia. I took CYALA through the Impact Academy Accelerator and the Foundation for Young Australians' Young Social Pioneer Program, grew a 30+ person team across four cities, delivered over 30 professional development workshops to 800+ participants from more than 20 countries, and organised Australia's first National African Youth Conference. In 2021-2023, I worked inside the blockchain space, providing governance and strategic support to NFT projects and co-developing DAOs and digital collectible projects generating over $1 million USD in sales. More recently I have been building AI tools for higher education. I created the [AI Stress Test](https://ai-stress-test.vercel.app), which checks whether an assessment still measures learning once students have generative AI, and rebuilt my own courses around these tools.
