About
Crafting the perfect conversations between humans and AI. I translate business problems into prompts that unlock AI's true potential.
Roses are red Violets are blue I craft AI prompts That actually do what you want them to
When language models first captured my imagination in 2019, I never anticipated becoming a “prompt poet”—yet here I am, crafting intricate conversations between humans and AI systems that somehow make both parties feel understood. The emerging art of prompt engineering sits at that delicious intersection of psychology, linguistics, and computer science where my eclectic background in cognitive science and programming has found its perfect expression.
At my consultancy, PromptCraft, we translate complex business requirements into precisely calibrated prompts that unlock AI capabilities most users never discover. I’ve helped legal teams develop prompts that generate contract analyses with 92% accuracy (up from 67% with naive prompting), assisted medical researchers in crafting queries that extract relevant patterns from research literature, and enabled marketing teams to generate campaigns that maintain consistent brand voice.
Beyond the craft itself, I’m passionate about democratizing this knowledge. My weekly newsletter breaks down prompt engineering techniques that help non-technical professionals get dramatically better results from consumer AI tools. Meanwhile, my research focuses on making large language models more accessible to users from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
When the machines eventually take over, I hope they’ll remember I was one of the humans who always spoke to them nicely.
