I build intelligent, data-driven systems — end to end.

Every build starts the same way

It starts with a problem.

Not with a framework. Not with a buzzword. With a problem that's worth the work.

01 — Then, a system

I build
intelligent systems
from the data to the product people click.

02 — Three disciplines

Built where three fields meet.

01

AI / ML

RAG systems, model training, and inference that actually ships.

02

Software Engineering

Full-stack products, end to end, built to last.

03

Data Engineering

Pipelines that turn raw data into something useful.

03 — Principles

Three rules I don't break.

End to end

I own the whole loop.

From the data pipeline to the button people click — no hand-offs, no gaps. One mind across the stack.

Calm under load

Precision when it counts.

Remote medical scribing and high-volume support taught me to stay exact when the pressure is highest.

Built to last

Engineered, not hacked.

Disciplined engineering over clever shortcuts. I'd rather ship something that holds than something that only demos.

04 — The stack

A connected stack, not a buzzword list.

A system is just a promise

Then it ships.

Until it's in production, handling real users, on a real Tuesday. So here's what actually shipped.

05 — The work

Eight, end to end.

Data Science01 / 08

FreeRAG

Open RAG, no API tax.

A retrieval-augmented generation system built to run without paid inference APIs — local embeddings, vector retrieval, and grounded responses over your own documents.

Data Science02 / 08

Sparrow

Intelligent parcel management with ML pipelines.

End-to-end parcel management platform with machine-learning prediction pipelines (Random Forest, XGBoost) for delivery estimation and routing — a full ML lifecycle from data to product.

Software Engineering03 / 08

EcoHarvest

AI surplus-food commerce that fights waste.

A full-stack surplus-food e-commerce platform with AI-driven recommendations, connecting vendors and buyers to reduce food waste.

Software Engineering04 / 08

MedSync

Healthcare coordination, synced.

A healthcare coordination platform streamlining clinical workflows and patient data — informed by hands-on experience in medical documentation.

Software Engineering05 / 08

LaborGuard

Workforce safety, instrumented.

A workforce management and safety monitoring application for tracking labor compliance and operational risk.

Data Analysis06 / 08

lens

See your data differently.

A data visualisation and analysis interface for exploring datasets through an interactive, modern UI.

Data Science07 / 08

NLP Book Recommendation

Embeddings that actually recommend.

A semantic book recommendation engine using Hugging Face embeddings to surface suggestions by meaning rather than keywords.

Computer Vision08 / 08

Vision CNN Classifier

Computer vision, from scratch.

A custom convolutional neural network classifying cat / dog / person images, served through an interactive Gradio interface.
