Martin Uwakwe — applied AI, built & governed

I build AI products and govern AI systems.

BUILD // GOVERN

I'm an IAPP-certified AI Governance Professional (AIGP) who ships real consumer AI products people use — and runs the evaluation, fairness, and risk work that keeps high-stakes machine learning trustworthy. Most people do one of those. I do both.

Products I've shipped.

Consumer AI and data products taken end to end — problem, pipeline, frontend, launch, and real users on the other side.

Govern

Systems I've kept trustworthy.

The assurance side of AI — evaluation, fairness, and risk for machine learning that real decisions depend on.

AI/ML governance in regulated healthcare

model lifecycle · assurance

I own the full AI/ML lifecycle for clinical and operational models in a regulated healthcare environment: running model evaluation and testing protocols, conducting algorithmic bias and fairness assessments, and mapping model risk and internal controls to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework alongside compliance and legal teams. I've built 15+ production dashboards supporting planning across 10,000+ locations — with the data-quality and validation controls that high-stakes decisions demand.

AI safety & security

7+ years · cross-industry

Designing and managing AI solutions with safety and ethics built in from the start — across finance, healthcare, retail, and supply chain.

Explainable AI research

peer-reviewed · published

Published work on carbon-credit monitoring and prediction in a smart factory using explainable AI and data analytics — transparency as a first-class property of a model, not an afterthought.

Domain

High-skilled immigration advisory

O-1A · EB-1A · the domain behind CaseReviewer.ai

Years spent making complex careers legible to the most exacting evaluators there are — the deep domain expertise that makes the AI products defensible, kept here as context rather than headline.

Writing & ideas

What I'm thinking through.

The intersection most people can't write from: someone who both builds AI and governs it, working in talent and mobility. Most of my writing is published on Medium.
