About me

Self-taught engineer building governed AI systems. CIMA-qualified (ex-Deloitte, ex-Head of Finance/Data), now shipping production LLM tooling, formal Lean 4 proofs, and EU AI Act–ready governance substrates. I turn regulated-environment risk into verifiable, auditable systems. TypeScript + Python.

Expertise in building production AI systems using Claude Code, Cursor, Codex-style agents, LLM orchestration, MCP server design, multi-model routing, bounded generation, and evaluation harnesses.

Formal Methods & Protocol Design
Deep knowledge of Lean 4 formal verification (zero sorry proofs), specification-first design, adversarial review, and pathological-world testing, applied to governed decision-record substrates.

TypeScript & Python Development
Proficiency in TypeScript and Python for end-to-end production system development, including open-source protocol substrates, clinical reflection engines, and AI-assisted workflow tooling.

Web & Deployment
Experience with React, Vite, Next.js, Vercel serverless, PWA delivery, Tauri desktop packaging, and Capacitor for cross-platform application deployment.

Data & Infrastructure
Hands-on work with DuckDB, Postgres, large-scale CSV ingest of UK regulatory corpora, Doppler secrets management, and Tailscale mesh networking.

Operational Engineering
Skilled in CI/CD pipelines, launchd and cron orchestration, full-stack debugging, and multi-machine inference environments including Mac, Mac Mini, and RTX 5090.

Financial Stress Testing & Governance
Background in forecasting, stress and reverse-stress scenario design, operational planning, and governance frameworks across regulated financial and clinical environments.

Domain Knowledge: Governance & Provenance
Strong domain expertise in governance, provenance, replayability, audit, financial stress testing, reverse-stress methodologies, and regulated environment compliance.
