About

Nine years of advisory and production AI.

I've built AI systems in financial services, insurance and applied research since 2017, with stops at EY in Rio, Kunumi (an AI consultancy), and a deep learning research role at COPPETEC. Alongside the work I completed an MSc in Computer Science with a deep learning specialisation.

Based in York with full UK right to work. My focus today is Retrieverworks, the AI and automation studio I founded: AI agents, workflow automation and bespoke builds, taken from prototype to production. I also take freelance and contract work via Upwork.
