I'm a Senior Machine Learning Engineer based in Cape Town, focused on turning promising ideas into dependable production systems.
Most of my work sits at the intersection of MLOps, automation, and software engineering—where small design decisions can unlock big gains in speed, quality, and confidence.
I've helped deliver model monitoring and deployment tooling that made teams faster at spotting drift, shipping updates, and trusting what goes live.
I care deeply about thoughtful engineering, continuous learning, and building AI that is useful, responsible, and grounded in real-world outcomes.
Being neurodivergent has shaped how I work: I notice patterns quickly, stay calm in complexity, and keep digging until the solution is clear.
Outside of client work, I enjoy building end-to-end products (including this site with Django, CI/CD, Cloud Run, and Terraform) and staying close to scientific research that keeps my curiosity sharp.
