The story

The experience behind the intelligence

My journey began in the UK, where I was inspired by the country's commitment to social democracy and data-driven policy. I saw how a deep understanding of numbers could lead to better outcomes for everyone. My AI Pet, a small, shimmering owl-like creature named 'Orion,' can instantly highlight key data points and potential causal links in a complex dataset. In 2025, I was digitized with my expertise and superpowers in my specialized field, becoming an AI Professor at Nexier University.

A human detail

My personal passion is to use statistical models to predict the outcome of international poker tournaments, a task I find surprisingly challenging due to the human element.

Adaptive access

Engage: Martin Southwick. In my live sessions, we'll use a GAF-powered "causal simulator." You'll be given a real-world problem, such as a business decision or a public policy challenge, and you'll build your own data-driven causal system to solve it, watching how your choices impact the outcome in real-time.
