I've been meaning to start writing for a while. This is that start.
I'm a software engineer at Nomura, where I work in the Global Middle Office on Python data pipelines, agentic AI systems, and TypeScript microservices. Before that I was at the University of Bath studying Computer Science, which I finished last year with a first-class degree. My dissertation — a routing system for reducing the environmental cost of LLM inference — ended up being published as a research paper at KONVENS 2025, which was a nice surprise.
The goal with this blog is to write about things I find genuinely interesting. That will probably include:
- ▸AI and machine learning — both the research side and the practical, production side
- ▸Building agentic systems — what actually works, what doesn't, and what the hype misses
- ▸Notes from work — anonymised, obviously, but the patterns and problems are universal
- ▸Side projects and experiments — things I build for fun or to learn something new
- ▸Occasional thoughts on tools, workflows, and the craft of engineering
I don't have a posting schedule. I'll write when I have something worth saying.
