I didn't start in AI. I started in the engine room of enterprise IT (firewalls, Active Directory, server infrastructure), where systems either work in production or they don't. That grounding is the thing most AI engineers never get.

An MSc in AI took me into RAG systems, anomaly detection, and computer vision. The operator's instinct stayed: a model that can't deploy, monitor, and survive real data isn't finished. Today I build at that intersection and study the governance patterns that keep it sustainable.

// the journey

Infrastructure first. AI second. Production always.

AI Engineer with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence and a track record of architecting end-to-end generative and agentic AI systems that ship to production. I work across LLMOps, RAG pipeline design, vector databases, and multi-agent orchestration with LangChain, LangGraph, and AutoGen, with a strong grounding in responsible AI: prompt-injection defence, PII handling, content moderation, and auditability.
