What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable AI agents, automation workflows, and data systems where I can shape technical direction, solve practical business problems, and mentor teams in AI automation and prompt engineering.

I'm building production AI automation at ITS, where I deployed a multilingual customer-support chatbot and re-engineered it into a custom n8n AI agent that cut tooling costs by 87%.

At Binate Digital, I built AI voice agents, LinkedIn outreach automation, and a lead-enrichment pipeline that reduced manual prospecting time by an estimated 80%.

At DevKind, I developed n8n agents for lead generation, enrichment, and AI-powered social content, while creating a LinkedIn data-extraction solution that generated roughly 13,000 business leads.

My MPhil research focused on moving-object detection and semantic classification in the VVC compressed domain, achieving up to 96.5% classification accuracy using C++, Python, MATLAB, and Random Forest.
