AI SYSTEMS BUILDER & EMBEDDED ENGINEER

I build AI systems that touch the real world
and keep working.

A NOTE TO SELF

Make it work.
Make it reliable.
Then make it
unexpected.

ship it, then watch it :)
A work in progress.
Just like all good things.✧
EMBEDDED BY TRAINING. AI BY PRACTICE.SCROLL TO LOOK AROUND PORTFOLIO / 2026
01 / THE GOOD STUFF

Systems I
actually shipped.

AI systems I built and tested.
Different inputs. Same care.

A good system
should hear you
and keep up.✧
Made with
intent.AND A LOT OF COFFEE
SYSTEMS THAT SHIP. MODELS THAT HOLD.Explore the project archive
02 / HOW A GOOD IDEA GROWS

A little messy.
Built to hold.

Scroll through the way I work.

FIRST, READ THE INPUT01 / 03

Start from the
real input.

Listen to the call, read the data, and find where it actually fails.

Listen to the call.Read the data.Find where it fails.

THEN, WIRE IT UP02 / 03

Wire it
together.

Model, retrieval, guardrails. Prototype fast enough to learn from.

Tests, logs,
then deploy.

Tests, logs, deploy, and watch it run under real conditions.

Start from the real input.
03 / BEHIND THE PIXELS

Embedded first.
AI by practice.

Head in the systems.
Hands in the hardware.
HELLO AGAIN, I’M MANAAL.

Reliability is
my favourite
build tool.

I work across LLM engineering, voice agents, and embedded systems. I care about systems that hold up, not just demos that look good.
Currently an LLM Engineer at CloudPilot UK. Also building freelance AI automations on Fiverr.
