Hi, I’m Muzi! 😁 - I build autonomous "Agentic" systems that don't just move data ,but also think, learn, and act. - I help businesses outpace their competition by replacing rigid, expensive low-code tools with high-performance, custom code. - I bridge the gap between Data Science and Automation to create systems that understand human behaviour and deliver real insights. → I recently acted as the Data Integrations Lead for a massive performance analytics engine. I built the pipelines that unified employee communication and activity data, allowing AI to learn behaviours over time and generate reports that actually help teams win and stay productive. → My clients include people who need me to leverage Data Science, Python, and AI-integrated IDEs (like Claude Code) to build solutions that offer total freedom of expression and infinite scalability. → I specialise in "Intelligence Clusters" that integrate complex databases with machine learning models to ensure that every automation is backed by accurate, data-driven inference. View my portfolio below, or read on if you’re interested in the "why" I love doing what I do. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Let’s build something that actually has a brain! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So you clicked ‘more,’ huh… Well, here goes the yap session. It’s a pleasure to meet you! I’m Muzi. I’m a systems design expert and Data Scientist who lives for turning chaotic data into streamlined, autonomous machines. Most of my clients love working with me because I approach every project with a mix of strategic thinking, technical expertise, and an obsession with delivering results that genuinely make your life easier. What I’ve been up to lately: - Performance Analytics: Designing engines that ingest massive data sources to help managers understand team dynamics and productivity. - Data Science Pipelines: Using my IBM Data Science background to build classification models and predictive analytics that make automations "smart." - Autonomous Agents: Building media and operation agents that manage high-quality content production with minimal human intervention. How I approach your project: - The Discovery: We deep-dive into the "soul" of your problem. What are we actually trying to solve? - The Intelligence Layer: Instead of just connecting App A to App B, I look at the data. I ensure the inputs are clean so the AI can make accurate inferences about your business. - Code-First Implementation: I build your solution using Python and modern dev tools. This means no "per-task" fees from low-code platforms and zero constraints on what the system can do. - Full Integration: Whether it’s a headless server setup or a cloud-based ML model, I ensure it integrates seamlessly with your existing workflow. What you get: - A charming guy with a great sense of humour and a drive to build things that actually work. - Systems that you own, built on code, free from the limitations of "drag-and-drop" builders. - A partner who understands Ridge regression and feature engineering just as well as API integrations. - A system that won't break or become too expensive just because your business grows. Wondering why I do this? I started with simple automation in n8n because I wanted to make things faster for my clients with the power of automation. With AI in the mix, I realised that I could build systems that not only knew what decision to take, but how and when, and that changed everything for me. But as I delved deeper into Data Science and Machine Learning, I realised the real magic happens not just when an agent knows what to do, but when a system can interpret why it needs to do what it's doing. There’s something deeply satisfying about watching a fragmented idea turn into an organised, efficient, and scalable machine that learns and improves. When you work with me, you’re getting someone who is obsessed with the "Intelligence" in Artificial Intelligence. I’m sincerely looking forward to connecting and building a system that gives you the freedom to scale. PLEASE NOTE: I am a code-first engineer. If you are looking to move away from the constraints of n8n/Make or Zapier and into custom, AI-driven territory, we are going to get along great. Let’s build the future of your business together.

I design ESL and EFL courses that learners actually finish! These courses are interactive, pedagogically grounded, and built by someone who has spent 6+ years teaching English and 5+ years as a professional instructional designer. Most instructional designers know the tools. I know the learner. For the past five years I have worked as an instructional designer at You Can Speak Ltd, building eLearning content across multiple learner types. These learner types are from young learners to adult ESL learners to corporate English communication programs. In that role I designed the full content pipeline: lesson frameworks, interactive activities, and the production standards my team followed to deliver consistent, high-quality output. The tools I used daily: Articulate Rise 360 and Genially. Alongside that, I currently hold a freelance contract with Easy Peasy English, designing interactive Genially content for their English learning platform. I am also in my third year of a Bachelor's degree in TESOL, so everything I build is grounded in current second language acquisition research, not just instinct. What I build: — SCORM-ready eLearning courses in Articulate Rise 360 — Interactive, game-style ESL/EFL lessons and activities in Genially — AI-enhanced lessons using custom-generated images, voiceover, avatar video, and background audio — Full curriculum sequences, unit plans, and lesson frameworks — Onboarding and communication training for international or ESL/EFL-facing teams — Content levelled to CEFR (A1–C2) — Teacher guides, student workbooks, and supporting resources My tools: Course authoring: Articulate Rise 360 | Genially AI image: Midjourney | DALL-E | Adobe Firefly | Canva AI | Kling AI AI video: Runway | Kling AI AI voiceover: ElevenLabs AI avatar video: HeyGen AI music & SFX: Suno | Udio Production: Google Workspace | Microsoft Office | Canva Why Rise AND Genially: I use Articulate Rise for SCORM-compatible courses that live inside an LMS these are structured, trackable eLearning that corporate clients and institutions require. I use Genially for high-engagement, visually interactive content where learner experience comes first. Having both means I recommend the right tool for your context, not just the one I happen to know. What AI means for your course: Every asset including characters, illustrations, voiceover, scenario videos, background audio can be built specifically for your learners and your brand. No stock photo compromises. No generic narrator voices. No expensive production teams. Cohesive, custom-feeling content produced efficiently. A recent client wrote: "Joshua brought his own experience and expertise as an ESL/EFL teacher and content creator into the work, which significantly improved the final result. Anyone who hires him will be making a great decision." — 5-star review, Jan 2026 I work best with: — EdTech companies building or scaling English language courses — Language schools and training centres developing digital curriculum — Businesses creating English onboarding or communication training for international teams — Entrepreneurs and coaches building ESL products or programs Based in Bangkok. Fully remote. Clear communication throughout every project. If you want interactive ESL/EFL content designed by someone who has actually built it at scale then let's talk!

I design AI-powered education systems that help schools, educators, and EdTech businesses improve efficiency, scale their programmes, and deliver better learning outcomes. I am an Academic Coordinator and Acting Academic Manager with over 10 years of experience in international education, currently leading English language programmes for over 900 students and mentoring teams of 30+ teachers in a bilingual academic environment. Alongside my academic leadership experience, I hold an MBA focused on strategic leadership and the integration of Artificial Intelligence into education systems. My research explored how AI can be used to build scalable, data-driven learning organisations. What I build: • Custom GPT tools for schools, tutors, and education businesses • AI-powered lesson planning and curriculum generation systems • Automated IELTS writing feedback and assessment systems • Full curriculum frameworks aligned to CEFR and IELTS standards • Academic systems for reporting, assessment, and programme coordination Proven impact: • Coordinated academic programmes across 900+ students • Mentored and developed 30+ teachers to improve instructional quality • Built digital academic systems that improved reporting efficiency by 30% • Led curriculum alignment across multiple grade levels using international frameworks What makes me different: Most AI solutions in education fail because they are not designed by educators. I combine: • Academic leadership experience (programme coordination & teacher development) • Deep curriculum expertise (CEFR & IELTS alignment) • Business strategy (MBA-level thinking) • Practical AI system design This means you don’t just get an AI tool — you get a structured system that works in real educational environments. If you're looking to integrate AI into your teaching, build scalable learning systems, or improve academic efficiency, I can help you design and implement the right solution.
