AI research engineer and consultant delivering uncertainty-aware surrogates and reliability cascades that accelerate expensive solvers.

About
As an independent AI Research Engineer & Consultant, I design learned surrogates and reliability cascades that accelerate expensive physics solvers, optimisers, and simulations. I’ve delivered 40+ contracted research systems across robotics, wireless, energy, and structural health monitoring.
For multi-UAV task allocation, I designed and implemented a three-tier cascade combining an imitation-learning policy, a correction head, and MILP fallback. It achieved a 440× speedup while matching MILP decision quality on the hardest scenario.
At the IoT & AI Doctoral Research Laboratory, USTO-MB, I designed, built, and experimentally validated a visible-light indoor positioning system using an artificial neural network; the work was published at IEEE ISPA 2022. I’m currently open to PhD, research-engineer, or scientific-software positions.
