I am a Research Associate in Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence at Loughborough University, with a PhD in multimodal AI and first-author research on image-text retrieval. My work spans production LLM integration, hybrid semantic search, and evaluation methods that keep machine outputs grounded and auditable. I specialise in turning research prototypes into deployed, production-grade platforms.
