What I'm looking for

I'm seeking AI, machine learning, or software engineering roles where I can build and deploy practical AI-powered applications.

I built AI-powered chatbot and automation systems at Zerdence Technologies, integrating Python and RESTful APIs for clients adopting conversational AI. I also worked with clients to translate business requirements into machine learning and NLP solutions.

For my dissertation, I built a GPT-4o-mini university chatbot covering 53 modules and six programme specifications, achieving a 0% hallucination rate through an eight-strategy search pipeline. I also build Flask applications, sentiment-analysis tools, and local-first voice-to-terminal assistants.
