Summary

  • I help companies turn machine learning into reliable, production systems.
  • I am an applied Machine Learning and AI expert working with organisations across the UK and Europe to design, build, and operate production-ready ML systems. My focus is on making machine learning dependable, measurable, and aligned with real product and business objectives.
  • With a PhD background, I bring deep technical expertise across the full ML lifecycle ?from problem framing and data strategy to model development,  evaluation, deployment, and long-term operation. This includes practical experience with modern language-model-based systems, such as prompt design, output supervision, evaluation workflows, and integrating these components into larger ML and product architectures. 
  • My experience includes search, ranking, and recommendation systems, as well as music intelligence and multimedia applications. I have also worked on applying language models to structured and unstructured data workflows, where reliability, controllability, and monitoring are critical. While my domain background is specialised, my consulting work is broadly applicable to organisations dealing with complex data, information retrieval, and decision-support systems at scale.
  • I have led R&D efforts, published extensively, and hold multiple patents. Through (Firm on request), I work closely with engineering, product, and leadership teams, combining strategic guidance with handson delivery where appropriate.
  • I work best with teams that value pragmatic engineering, clear success metrics, and long-term system quality. Engagements typically include technical due diligence, ML architecture and system reviews, hands-on implementation support, and ongoing advisory senior technical advisory support.
