I'm Benan, a cognitive scientist, ML engineer and mom. I build the AI and ML behind apps for women, families and kids. Got the idea but not the team or funding to build the intelligence? I take your project from a quick proof of concept all the way to a full, scaled product. Your dream, built for real.
Pick the shape that fits where you are right now. We always start with a chat, never a contract.
Book a call and leave with a real plan, not a pile of jargon. Maybe you know exactly what you want to build but not how the AI should actually work. Which data, what it means, how to make it smart and safe. We'll talk it through on a video call.
Want the whole thing built? I'll do it. The data, the ML brain, the model, the way it talks to your users. You get a product that actually works out in the real world, not just in a slick demo.
Want me in your corner as you grow? I can lead the tech and AI side of your project, or join your team for a few hours a week. Whatever shape keeps your dream moving forward.
You can picture it clearly: the app, the platform, the product that should exist. What you don't have is the AI and ML pipeline, the team, or the funding to build the intelligence underneath it. That's exactly where I come in.
CID is built by a female founder who has taken startups head to head with the big players, and won ground.
So I know what it takes, because I've done it. I've spent my whole career building the AI brain for products in women's health, families and kids. From the raw data, to the model, to the way it talks to a real person.
You work directly with me. You explain your vision, and together we turn it into a real, working product. Something you can take to investors, to users, to market, wherever you are in the world.
We don't need to have everything in place to start. We'll build it together.
You bring the vision and the world you know better than anyone. We start with a conversation about what you want to build and why.
→I build a real, working AI core, not a mockup. The data, the model, the intelligence that proves your idea actually works.
→Something solid you can put in front of investors and early users. A product with a brain, not a deck full of promises.
→Out into the world. Wherever you're launching, you'll have intelligence you understand, trust, and truly own.
This is a slice of a decade of work. Every one of these started with the same question I'll ask you: what does your data really mean, and how do we turn it into something a person can actually trust?
Reads your biomarkers on device across 9 health domains and 6 hormonal life stages. Every suggestion comes from the combination of your own signals against your own baseline, never a population average.
A baby weaning tracker that profiles every food against what a little one actually needs at their age. The signals behind the next-food suggestions had to be built. They don't exist in a raw food log.
See the build →Built on a real model of how goals break down and how motivation actually moves. The AI check-ins adapt to the person in front of them, instead of running the same fixed script for everyone.
See the build →Reads how people really feel and decide from the way they talk, not just what they say. The cognitive-science layer is the whole difference between a transcript and an understanding.
Before CID I built the AI at Stardust (6M users), led behavioral science at CoachHub, and co-founded an emotion-AI startup. There's a lot more where this came from.
See the full ML portfolio →Tech is never neutral. These aren't extras I bolt on at the end. They're the reason to pick me at all.
When you work with CID, you work with me. Not a sales team, not a junior someone. If a project needs a specialist, they join, and you meet them first.
I did my PhD in brain, mind and computer science between Padova and Edinburgh. I built the AI team at Stardust from nothing, in women's health, for millions of users. Since then I've shipped apps for women (Nar), for babies and families (TinyTaste), and for the goals we set ourselves (Aim).
I've spent my career building intelligence around women, families and kids. I've also got my own kids, so this isn't a market to me, it's my life. That's why I put people and emotion first, and why I'd never build anything I wouldn't happily hand to my own family.
If you've got a vision and you need the AI to make it real, or you just want to know whether your idea is even buildable, write to me. I read and reply to my own emails, promise.
No contact form. No funnel. A real reply, usually within a few days.
