3rd Eye AI is the consultancy and product practice of Davendra Patel.
I connect business problems with practical technology.
From 2020 to 2026 I was Head of AI & Automation at Alter Domus, a global fund administrator, where more than 4,000 people used what my team built every day. Now I do that work for other firms through 3rd Eye AI.
3rd Eye AI brings together AI consultancy, intelligent automation, websites and digital products. It is a hands-on practice: understanding the work, shaping a useful solution and building something people can use.
The portfolio spans business services, healthcare, sport, community projects and creative AI, and every project in it was designed and built by me. That breadth informs a practical approach without assuming every business needs the same solution.
The practice began in Wellingborough in 1997 as 3rd Eye Solutions, building websites, software and multimedia for local and UK businesses. 3rd Eye AI continues that work on the same domain, with AI now at its centre.
