About

Building AI that works for people

I'm an AI Engineer and Data Scientist with a rare combination of enterprise consulting depth and hands-on ML engineering experience. My career spans IT consulting, BI analytics, and data integration before moving fully into applied AI product development.

My work sits at the intersection of LLMs, agentic systems, and human-centred design. I've shipped two production AI systems and contributed to peer-reviewed research, with a focus on building technology that is safe, explainable, and genuinely useful.

I'm open to research collaborations and senior AI engineering roles across Europe and India.
