I am a Machine Learning Engineer and Researcher with a PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Birmingham. My background is in deep learning, computer vision, generative AI and 3D reconstruction, with hands-on experience building end-to-end Python/PyTorch pipelines from data generation and model development through to evaluation. I’ve also worked on Transformer-based models and agentic AI systems, and I’m particularly interested in turning advanced AI techniques into practical, reliable products.

Work Experience

Engineer (Agentic AI / Recommendation Systems) at Gatewise
June 1, 2026 - June 30, 2026
Built an end-to-end agentic AI system using Gemini with tool calling, Trigger.dev, and ClickHouse to convert natural-language flight queries into structured inputs and data-backed airport arrival recommendations. Designed a deterministic recommendation engine and analytics pipeline over 2015–2025 U.S. flight data, combining airport congestion, delay/cancellation statistics, baggage, and TSA PreCheck information, with results delivered through an interactive Next.js/React interface.
Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Birmingham
April 1, 2026 - Present
Developing an end-to-end NeRF-based pipeline for multi-view 3D reconstruction from 2D radar observations, integrating physics-based simulation, synthetic data generation, model training, and quantitative evaluation. Built an automated Python/PyTorch pipeline generating large-scale simulated datasets (200 targets, 251 views per target; 50,000+ radar observations) to enable scalable 2D-to-3D reconstruction experiments on HPC. Owned the end-to-end workflow from data generation through NeRF development and 3D mesh reconstruction, achieving NMSE of 0.20 between reconstructed and ground-truth 3D target meshes.
Machine Learning Engineer at Sapper Intelligence GmbH
December 1, 2025 - March 1, 2026
Developed a scalable physics-based radar simulation pipeline generating 10,000+ synthetic images for training and benchmarking deep learning models. Designed and implemented a Transformer-based model with a learnable shrinkage module for noise suppression and target recognition from noisy radar measurements. Built an end-to-end Python/PyTorch workflow from simulation and dataset generation through model training, inference, and quantitative evaluation in a startup environment.
Researcher (Synthetic Data / Communications) at FinGAN – Synthetic Data Generation for Scalable Localization (Research project at Queen’s University Belfast)
October 1, 2024 - October 1, 2025
Designed and developed FinGAN, a generative model synthesizing signal measurements directly from spatial inputs, integrating data generation, training, evaluation, and downstream localization. Achieved RMSE 3.65 dBm and FID 4.08 while preserving downstream localization performance; published as first author at IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC).
Researcher (Joint Reconstruction and Classification) at ClassiGAN – Joint Reconstruction and Classification with Deep Learning (Research project at Queen’s University Belfast)
October 1, 2023 - October 1, 2024
Developed a deep residual network for joint image reconstruction and target classification, replacing separate conventional imaging and classification stages with a unified learning-based pipeline. Achieved NMSE 0.019 and SSIM 0.979 for reconstruction and F1 0.981 for classification, validated on experimental measurements and published in IEEE Transactions on Radar Systems.
