More recently he’s consulted on mobile apps and LLM-driven content automation, reducing manual content ops by 70% through agentic AI workflows and pragmatic integrations.

He has led multiple cloud migrations and designed data lakes and distributed systems that prioritize long-term maintainability over short-term trends. Based in the UK with a PhD in Information Engineering, he bridges research-grade rigor and product-focused delivery across startups, scale-ups and multinationals.
