Who’s writing
I’m an AI Engineer based in Christchurch. I run Harkness AI, founded Young Kiwis in AI, and sit on the AI Forum NZ working group. Every briefing I send is written from what I’m actually building and teaching on the ground here in NZ.


Plugged into NZ’s AI ecosystem
I sit on the AI Forum NZ and Engineering New Zealand working groups, which means the insights in this briefing are shaped by the same conversations steering AI strategy and engineering standards across Aotearoa - not just whatever’s trending online.
