Unlocked over £10M in follow-on funding and is scaling to millions of customer workflows, turning hours of SQL work into instant insights.

Speech-to-Insight Pipeline

Sector:
Defense
What it is
An AI pipeline that transforms raw audio into structured intelligence using diarization, topic modeling, and automated summarization.
Impact
Boosted transcription throughput by 20%, helping teams process mission-critical recordings faster and more accurately.

AWS → Snowflake ETL Fabric

Sector:
Finance
What it is
An automated data ingestion fabric that moves, validates, and structures data from AWS into Snowflake.
Impact
Provided analytics teams with governed, query-ready datasets—reducing manual data wrangling and accelerating decision-making.

Trustworthy Vision Stack

Sector:
Defense
What it is
A full computer-vision pipeline with accuracy monitoring, data lineage, and built-in bias controls.
Impact
Achieved 95% detection accuracy while meeting strict governance requirements for high-stakes defense environments.

LLM Guardrails + Evaluation Framework

Sector:
Finance
What it is
A real-time governance layer for enterprise LLMs, featuring automatic scoring, alerts, and safe fallback responses.
Impact
Enabled compliant, auditable LLM usage—reducing operational risk and accelerating adoption of generative AI in regulated organizations.

Defense Report RAG System

Sector:
Defense
What it is
A retrieval-augmented system that searches large internal corpora and surfaces the most relevant intelligence instantly.
Impact

ParagonAI

Sector:
AI / OSS
What it is
An open-source RAG workspace that builds a custom knowledge base from user-provided URLs, extracting and indexing relevant content.
Impact
Enables natural-language querying over large, curated corpora—returning precise, context-aware answers.
GitHub

Splash Language

Sector:
Languages
What it is
A Haskell-built domain-specific language for reading integer columns from files and applying composable arithmetic operations.
Impact
Removes boilerplate by letting users express numeric transformations concisely.
GitHub

CookPal AI

Coming Soon
Sector:
Health
What it is
An AI meal-prep planner that converts fitness goals into tailored menus, macros, and grocery lists.
Impact
Automates meal planning by generating personalized nutrition-aligned prep plans with no manual work.

May 2023 – Now

Software Engineer, Machine Learning

IBM UK · London, UK

  • Developed an NL2SQL agent-driven interface for PostgreSQL using Vue.js, Tailwind, and Python; the POC enabled natural language workflows for a financial client and unlocked GBP 10M+ in follow-on funding.
  • Partnered with cross-functional squads to deliver scalable RAG systems (Milvus, LLaMA, Sentence Transformers) so IBM clients can retrieve high-signal internal knowledge quickly.
  • Engineered a governance framework with real-time guardrails by integrating Ragas, watsonx.governance, and Nvidia TensorRT-LLM to monitor production LLM behavior.

Jun 2022 – May 2023

Machine Learning Engineer

IBM UK · London, UK

  • Designed and deployed computer-vision object detection for the defense sector using PyTorch and TensorFlow, trained on 14K+ images and optimized for edge inference.
  • Built a speech-to-text NLP pipeline (fine-tuned Whisper, diarization, keywording, summarization) on AWS with BERT models, cutting analysis time by 20%.
  • Produced and demoed ETL proof-of-concept flows on Snowflake and AWS S3 that helped secure a major financial-sector contract.

Jun 2021 – Sep 2021

Software Engineer Intern

IBM UK · London, UK

  • Built a full-stack 3D digital twin for client factories with Python, Vue.js, Flask, Babylon.js, and IBM Object Storage to help customers trace products in a circular economy.
  • Created a prototype digital card for Google Wallet and Apple Pay (Java + Swift) that stored recycling-generated vouchers to encourage sustainable buyer behavior.
  • Led a four-person team through five agile sprints with weekly IBM mentor reviews and client workshops, delivering a client-approved MVP.
