Unlike trainers who focus solely on theory, Jack brings "in-the-trenches" experience to the classroom. He bridges the gap between abstract concepts and professional practice, helping teams navigate everything from foundational prompt engineering to advanced agentic workflows and data extraction. This technical depth, paired with his teaching background, unlocks tangible productivity gains for teams in any industry.

With a history as a university lecturer and recipient of the UCT Teaching Grant for Innovative Approaches to Learning, Jack is passionate about making the complex approachable. He specialises in demystifying tools like Copilot, ChatGPT, and AI Agents, empowering professionals to move past the hype and build actionable, value-driven AI workflows.

As the founder of AI research and consulting firm Shiels AI, Jack brings a practitioner's perspective to the classroom. His expertise is grounded in the UK tech sector, where he worked in both academic AI research and high-performance fintech engineering, a combination that ensures rigorous, production-grade insights for your organisation.
