🎯 About Me

I'm a Machine Learning graduate (Distinction) from Queen Mary University of London with a strong foundation in quantitative finance, LLM engineering, and high-performance C++ systems. I'm actively targeting Quant Engineer / ML Engineer roles at Machine Leaning and Quantitative field with development and research heavy role.

My work spans end-to-end ML pipelines (RAG, fine-tuning, MLOps), stochastic calculus and derivatives pricing, and low-latency systems design — bridging the gap between theoretical rigor and production-grade engineering.


🚀 Featured Projects

Production MLOps · RAG Pipelines · ZenML · Qdrant

Engineered a full LLM Twin that learns writing styles from digital content to answer questions in someone's authentic voice. Built on the Feature-Training-Inference (FTI) pipeline architecture.

  • Designed advanced RAG pipeline with hybrid search (BM25 + vector), reranking, and query expansion over Qdrant vector database
  • Orchestrated end-to-end training and inference pipelines with ZenML and experiment tracking via Comet ML
  • Implemented supervised fine-tuning with LoRA/QLoRA and DPO preference alignment

⚡ Nexus — High-Performance Order Book Matching Engine (In Progress)

C++ · Lock-Free Data Structures · SIMD Optimisation · Low-Latency

Building a production-grade order book matching engine targeting sub-microsecond latency:

  • Lock-free queue implementation using C++ atomics and memory ordering guarantees
  • SIMD-optimised price comparison routines for L1/L2 order book updates
  • Benchmarked against industry-standard engines; targeting < 1μs matching latency

🌿 GreenGrid UK — Energy Demand Forecasting Platform

GCP · MLOps · Time Series · Python

Designed a production MLOps portfolio project for UK AI market, forecasting energy demand using ensemble ML models on GCP's free tier with full CI/CD pipelines.


📄 PageSage UK — Multimodal Document Intelligence

RAG · Vision Models · GCP · FastAPI

Architected a multimodal document intelligence system combining vision encoders and RAG pipelines for intelligent document Q&A, engineered for the UK AI job market.


📈 Quantum-Trading — ML Stock Forecasting Platform

TensorFlow · Stochastic Models · Python

Built a quantitative trading research platform integrating ML forecasting with derivatives pricing theory (Black-Scholes, binomial trees, Monte Carlo with variance reduction).
