Open to AI consulting & collaborations
I teach machines to read the fine print FDA filings financial content contracts — and to say so when they’re not sure.
I’m a Lead AI/ML Engineer with ten years in software and data, the last six building AI for industries where a wrong answer costs real money: pharma, consumer finance and law. I build RAG pipelines, agent systems and document intelligence that regulators, auditors and very busy experts can actually trust.
Regulatory document QC
An AI reviewer that checks every claim in an Investigator’s Brochure against the source GLP study reports.
Consumer finance assistant
The GenAI ingestion and retrieval layer behind a customer-facing assistant for financial questions and product guidance.
Clinical document digitisation
A production RAG and extraction platform for trial documents feeding FDA IND/NDA submissions.
Legal contract intelligence
Clause and entity extraction with hybrid search, built for legal teams doing due diligence.
Civic data agents
LangChain agents over Google Civic, Congress.gov and USDA data for advocacy groups and researchers.
A self-healing smart home
Home Assistant on a Mac mini with AI agents that watch, repair and explain the house — Apple Home and Alexa bridges, secure remote access through Cloudflare, and nightly disaster-recovery backups.
A personal AI gateway
One local gateway in front of OpenRouter and on-device Ollama models, with model aliases, a hard monthly budget, per-call logging, shared MCP tools and side-by-side model bake-offs.
I studied statistics, started out in software and data, moved into machine learning, and for the last few years have led teams building LLM systems for regulated industries.
My favourite part of the job is the first three months on a new domain — sitting with medical writers, lawyers or product teams until I understand their work well enough to know where an AI can help, and where it absolutely shouldn’t guess.
