How I solve problems at Finarb, and how Finarb can help

Alongside my independent work, I am AVP of Engineering at Finarb Analytics Consulting, a data and AI consultancy. This page explains how I approach problems there, and when it makes sense to work with Finarb's team rather than with me alone.

About Finarb

Finarb Analytics Consulting is a "consult-to-operate" data, analytics and AI company: it helps organisations from the first question through to running the system in production. Its work centres on data and AI consulting, with a strong focus on healthcare and pharma.

How I solve problems at Finarb

Most data and AI problems are not model problems. They are problems of unclear decisions, data nobody trusts and prototypes that never reach production. The way I lead engineering at Finarb is built around that.

  1. DecisionStart from the business decision the work must improve, and who makes it
  2. DataMap the data behind it, its quality, its owners and the rules that apply
  3. ProveShow value on a small, real slice before building anything large
  4. BuildEngineer for production: pipelines, security, monitoring and cost
  5. MeasureEvaluate quality continuously, not once at launch
  6. OperateRun it with the client, then hand over what they want to own
Consult to operate: the same team that designs a system helps run it.

Decisions before models. We agree what decision changes, how we will know it improved, and what would make us stop. That keeps projects small enough to finish.

Data before AI. Clean, well-described data with clear ownership does more for AI quality than any model choice. Where meaning matters across systems, I use shared data models and ontologies so every report and AI answer means the same thing; see ontology and knowledge graphs.

Evaluation before scale. Every AI feature has an evaluation set built from real cases, and runs against it whenever a model, prompt or data source changes; see evaluating AI agents.

Regulated by design. In healthcare and pharma, privacy, consent, audit trails and explainability are part of the architecture from the first sprint, not a review at the end; see healthcare data architecture.

Engineering that lasts. As AVP of Engineering, my focus is the standards that let a team deliver reliably: clear architecture decisions written down, code and design reviews, sensible automation, and engineers who understand the systems they run.

Data and AI consulting. Finarb helps organisations decide where data and AI will pay off, build the data foundations, and take analytics and AI from a prototype to a system people rely on.

Healthcare and pharma. For healthcare and pharma teams, Finarb brings data and AI work shaped around the realities of the sector: sensitive data, strict rules and the need for results clinicians and regulators can trust.
