[view_all]AI/ML & Systems Engineer. I build ML infrastructure that is provably reliable, not just functional.
Upstream PyTorch Core contributor, debugging low-level C++ tensor layouts on Apple silicon. Previously spent four years at Deloitte architecting distributed microservices for 23M+ healthcare users, followed by an MSc in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Leeds (2025 - 2026).
Dissertation shipped as SFHQ-VirtualID: a public benchmark evaluating whether diffusion models truly unlearn human identities, bringing empirical verification to generative systems.
## Featured Builds
[view_all]SFHQ-VirtualID: Synthetic Identity Datasets for Machine Unlearning

GraphContext MCP
A privacy-first macOS application that acts as a structural brain for AI coding assistants using deterministic AST parsing and local Graph Neural Networks.
Serverless GitHub Calendar
A 100% reliable, zero-runtime-dependency GitHub Contribution Heatmap architecture built for React and static sites.
MSc Project: Unlearning Framework
A comprehensive machine unlearning evaluation framework for identity-level deletion on synthetic facial datasets.
