About Me
A PhD researcher and AI developer with 3+ years of enterprise experience building data platforms and AI applications for global organisations including Al Futtaim Group, Walgreens, and Komatsu. Currently researching intelligent building automation and semantic ontologies at Birmingham City University, where I also teach postgraduate modules in BIM and digital construction.
Outside research, I build AI tools and workflows and share what works with professionals who want to use AI in their day-to-day work. Not the hype nonsense, the practical stuff that delivers results.
