Oliver Wakeford

About

The short version.

I'm Oliver, an AI consultant and developer based in Paris. I build systems that help businesses use AI practically and responsibly. Not as a buzzword. As a tool that produces measurable results.

I studied Computer Science at Charles University in Prague and graduated with First-Class Honours. My thesis explored procedural terrain generation using machine learning. After that I moved to Paris for an MSc in AI & Data Science at Université Paris-Saclay.

While studying, I started consulting. At Chiron Hotel Consultancy, I built an AI content engine that now serves 17 clients across luxury hospitality, lifestyle brands, and purpose-driven organisations. The principle is simple: the best AI is invisible. If you can tell it's AI, it isn't good enough.

I also work with Ace-nsi Cybersecurity on AI governance, helping organisations understand and manage the risks of uncontrolled AI adoption. Shadow AI, regulatory compliance, data security. The stuff that keeps CISOs awake at night.

When I'm not working, you'll find me at the gym, running along the Seine, or trying to get my French past B1. It's a slower process than I'd like.
