I'm a Senior Tech Lead and AI Engineer with 15+ years of building systems that can't go down: airport security, government rail signalling, payments and healthcare. I work as a Forward Deployed Engineer: I sit with the client, learn how their operation really runs, and turn that into production software.
- 🛫 Senior Tech Lead, aviation security: I lead core modules of a national airport's security platforms: a control-room security console, visitor & vehicle handling, and airport pass & permit management.
- 🚆 Lead Engineer, government transport: I lead national rail and smart-parking programmes, from signalling-side integrations to operations tooling.
- 🧠 I build production GenAI and Agentic AI: LLM integration, RAG, LangChain / LangGraph and MCP. I also build and train my own models: see Falcon 2.6 below.
- 🎓 I'm a PhD candidate in Computer Science. My MSc thesis was an AI-driven medical assistant.
| Platform | What it does | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Security operations console | One control-room console for alarms with SOP workflows, maps of cameras and doors, live and recorded video, cardholder tracking and server health | .NET 9 · ABP · Angular 20 · SignalR · SQL Server Always On |
| Visitor & vehicle handling | Visitor passes, under-vehicle inspection, card printing, access-control sync | .NET 10 · ABP · MAUI / Flutter verifier app |
| Pass & permit management | Pass and permit applications, e-vetting, watch-list screening, AI face-quality checks | .NET 10 · ABP · computer-vision APIs |
They integrate enterprise video management, access control, vehicle scanners and AI video search, with high-availability failover.
A private coding model that powers my local AI agents for patching, fixing and reviewing code offline. Built and trained with Aquila, my in-house tuning toolchain. Trained on a large, carefully structured dataset inside a secured, access-controlled pipeline: the data never leaves protected infrastructure.
