About

Built across continents.
Grounded in delivery.

Ghana to Italy, the Netherlands, the US, Canberra, and Brisbane. The path matters less than the pattern: learn fast, adapt, and build things that survive outside drafts and demos.

The fuller story lives on the About page. This version is the short one: international moves, research training, industry delivery, and a bias toward systems that actually get used.

I prefer shipped systems to polished explanations.

What I Build

Three things I do well.

Looking specifically for an ML, AI, full-stack, AWS, or Azure engineer? I put the end-to-end capability view on a dedicated page.

ML Systems in Production

Training pipelines, model serving on Kubernetes, CI/CD for ML, evaluation gating, monitoring and drift detection.

Generative AI & RAG

RAG pipelines, LLM fine-tuning, Azure AI Foundry, LangChain orchestration, LangSmith observability.

Beyond the Code

I also run
& lift weights.

When I'm not building ML systems, I'm either on a trail run around Brisbane or in the gym. Running keeps me sharp — there's something about the discomfort of a long run that makes debugging a production issue feel straightforward by comparison.

Fitness has been consistent across multiple countries and time zones. It's how I maintain focus, think clearly, and stay consistent during complex projects.
