I work across AI/ML and automation, chemical/process engineering, energy systems and applied research. My experience includes deepwater oil and gas, gas-fired power generation, FMCG manufacturing, insurtech, fintech and enterprise operations.

I build LLM and retrieval systems, agentic workflows and multimodal applications. In industrial settings, my work includes process monitoring, flow assurance, reliability analysis and data-led improvement. Safety, cost, auditability and measurable results guide both sides of my engineering practice.

Through the ViMP Mini-MBA and UNDP × METI programme, I have studied customer discovery, business modelling, financial projections and venture validation. I am interested in how technically sound ideas become useful, sustainable products and services.

Beyond work, I have led student engineering teams, energy programmes and developer communities. Through Project KUJUA, I organise mentorship and outreach for students in underserved communities.
