About

🤖

Hey! I'm Daniel, an AI engineer who builds machine learning systems that actually work in production.

7+ years turning complex ML problems into scalable solutions. From fraud detection algorithms to AI chatbots, I've shipped systems serving millions of users across London, Madrid, and now Abu Dhabi.

Currently architecting AI solutions at Liquidity Capital, leading everything from RAG implementations to serverless ML deployments. I've managed teams, sat at executive tables, and know the difference between research code and production-ready systems.

I'm passionate about the entire ML lifecycle — from business problem to deployed model. When I'm not wrangling databases or optimizing inference pipelines, I'm probably exploring the latest in MLOps tooling or mentoring the next generation of ML engineers.
