About

Engineering intelligence
into production.

I'm a Senior AI Engineer with a Master's in Artificial Intelligence from the University of London. With six years of experience, I build and ship LLM-powered production systems across fintech, e-commerce, and open source.

At Verofy, I own twelve production microservices covering RAG chatbots, fraud detection, multi-provider LLM orchestration, document intelligence, and merchant risk analysis. I maintain four PyPI packages with 26,000+ downloads and publish models on Hugging Face.
