About Me
AI Engineer & Machine Learning Researcher
I build AI systems that run in production, not just in notebooks. My work spans LLM integration, RAG and agentic workflows, conversational AI, NLP pipelines, and the full-stack applications (Python, TypeScript, React, Node.js) that put them in front of real users. Recent work includes a WhatsApp maternal health assistant serving 1,000+ users and client automations that remove 30+ hours of manual work per month.
I hold an MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, co-authored a peer-reviewed machine learning paper in IOP Publishing's Machine Learning: Earth, and write a regular AI column at TheCable. I am a Member of the British Computer Society (MBCS).
