What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an AI/ML engineering role where I can build end-to-end NLP/RAG systems, deploy them in production with monitoring, and collaborate with security/compliance teams on regulated, high-stakes use cases.

I’m an AI/ML engineering candidate with a cybersecurity foundation and hands-on experience building deployed AI systems. I’m currently completing an intensive 24-week AI.SPIRE programme covering the full AI/ML engineering stack, and I focus on bridging technical complexity with business communication.

I build end-to-end AI systems—data ingestion, predictive modelling, NLP, RAG, and production deployment—using PyTorch, Hugging Face, knowledge graph architectures, and vector search integration. Alongside my AI work, I’ve trained in penetration testing and SOC operations, implemented Zero Trust security principles, and applied HIPAA-aligned privacy controls and blockchain-based audit concepts to support regulated environments.
