// about

I'm an AI Engineer based in Johannesburg. Over eleven years I've moved from digital journalism through marketing operations into building production AI systems — retrieval pipelines, LLM integrations, automation workflows, and full-stack SaaS.

I focus on systems that have to earn trust in production: hybrid search and grounded generation, transparent scoring layers, structure-aware chunking, and cost-aware API orchestration. Recent work includes LeadSignal (rules + Claude enrichment for RevOps), DocSignal (semantic Q&A over policy corpora), and client-side ONNX inference for real-time computer vision.

I'm completing a Bachelor of Business Information Systems at STADIO, hold a Higher Certificate in Software Development with nine distinctions out of ten, and am building StruktLab — a delivery platform for the AEC industry covering RFIs, submittals, drawings, and project health.
