Caspar Addyman is a developmental psychologist turned AI innovator who leverages 11+ years of research and industry experience to build evidence-driven products that help parents and pre-schoolers play and learn better. As Chief Insights Officer at PlayTandem and Extraordinary Lecturer at Stellenbosch, he combines multimodal machine learning with decades of infant research—from directing Goldsmiths' InfantLab to co-supervising PhD work assessing mother-infant interactions in low-resource settings. His work spans computational models of infant behavior, bestselling books and songs (including The Laughing Baby and a collaboration with Imogen Heap), and practical AI tools for early childhood education. Unusually, his career path from city trader to chef to programmer and academic informs a pragmatic, interdisciplinary approach to innovation and product design. He is passionate about translating rigorous science into accessible resources and scalable platforms that measurably improve family wellbeing.
