Open to AI Engineer, ML Engineer & NLP Engineer roles · Manchester, UK

Building AI systems that retrieve, reason, and ship to production.

AI Engineer with 10 years in software engineering and 3 years building production LLM, RAG, and agentic systems in regulated financial services. Currently designing a LangGraph multi-agent retrieval platform end to end — ingestion, hybrid retrieval, reranking, and evaluation — across 100+ enterprise documents. MSc Artificial Intelligence, University of Aberdeen.

From problem formulation to production deployment.

I design, build, and ship end-to-end AI systems for enterprise use — not just notebooks. That means owning a problem from framing and model selection through evaluation, fine-tuning, and deployment into live products used by real teams.

Most of my recent work sits at the intersection of retrieval and reasoning: RAG pipelines, agentic multi-agent workflows built with LangGraph, and knowledge-graph-backed retrieval on Neo4j, layered on classic NLP and transformer fine-tuning when a smaller, cheaper model is the better answer.

  • Enterprise Generative AI applications
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems
  • Agentic AI & multi-agent workflows (LangGraph)
  • LLM fine-tuning — LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT
  • Semantic search & vector databases
  • Graph RAG & knowledge graph solutions
  • Intelligent document processing & enterprise chatbots

Systems shipped, not just prototyped.

Ten projects spanning generative AI, evaluation, classification, agentic retrieval, and FinTech ML.

GENERATIVE AI · AZURE OPENAI

Meeting intelligence platform

Shipped an AI meeting notes and summarisation platform on Azure OpenAI and LangChain, extracting key points directly from call transcripts for client-facing teams.

60%less manual review time

AGENTIC AI · GRAPH RAG

Multi-agent RAG & knowledge graph POCs

Designed LangGraph multi-agent workflows, Graph RAG on Neo4j, and multimodal PDF search with Qdrant/CLIP — proofs of concept that went on to shape the team's GenAI roadmap.

CLASSIFICATION · DEBERTA-V3

Multi-label document classifier

Trained and deployed a DeBERTa-v3 multi-label classifier across 9 labels, raising performance through targeted data curation, class-imbalance handling, and threshold tuning.
