I'm a data scientist, GIS analyst, and geospatial software developer. I work with spatial and scientific data, turning complex datasets into clear analysis and working tools. My background is in physics (MPhys, Instituto Balseiro, Argentina) and Computer Science (MRes, University of Exeter, UK). I have published research in peer-reviewed journals. I bring clear documentation and rigorous methodology with reproducible workflows to every project. What I can help with: - GIS, remote sensing and environmental mapping (ArcGIS, QGIS, Python, satellite imagery) - Map figures and exhibits for planning and environmental submissions (EIA/EIS support, with methods applicable under frameworks such as EPBC, NEPA, RMA, and NEMA) - Parcel and cadastral analysis at scale: land screening, filtering, and ranking against your criteria - Drone imagery processing: orthomosaics, elevation models, and GIS integration - Data engineering and automation: pipelines, PostGIS and SQL databases, and custom tools that replace repeated manual work - Data analysis, statistics and modelling (Python, pandas, NumPy) - Data visualisation and cartography (maps, charts, dashboards) I take a project from start to finish, or join at any stage. I apply the same approach to business data. I build dashboards that pull scattered sources (ad platforms, CRMs, finance, operations) into a clean model. Some portfolio examples include a sales-pipeline CRM in Airtable and reporting dashboards in Power BI and Metabase.

AI Automation | AI Agents | Claude Code | MCP | Anthropic API | Workflow Automation | RAG | Python | AI Consulting | Business Process Automation | API Integration | Prompt Engineering I'm an AI consultant and AI engineer. I build AI agents and automations that replace manual work, and I build them as real engineered systems so they still run in month six. Four years as a data scientist and ML engineer before this. That's the difference between an automation that demos well and one your team can depend on. Send me an invitation and I'll reply with a personalised Loom showing exactly how I'd automate your process. No cost, no commitment. WHAT I BUILD - AI agents that own a task end to end: research, triage, drafting, routing, follow-up - Workflow automation across your existing stack: email, CRM, Sheets, Notion, Slack, Stripe, Calendly - RAG systems and internal knowledge assistants that answer from your own documents, with sources - Claude and LLM API integrations inside your products and internal tools - Document and data extraction pipelines: PDFs, invoices, contracts, forms - Automated reporting that replaces the spreadsheet someone rebuilds every Monday HOW I BUILD IT - Custom-built in Python and Claude, not dragged together in a no-code canvas. It's yours, it's readable, you own it. - Guardrails, cost limits, rate-limit handling, error recovery and fallbacks on every system - I scope before I build. If automation is the wrong answer for your process, I'll tell you and say why. - Loom walkthrough on handover so your team can run and adjust it without me - One part of a process automated properly beats half of five processes WHY CLIENTS PICK ME - Top Rated Plus in 2025 and 2026 | 100% Job Success Score | $90K+ earned | 2,700+ hours billed - 5-star reviews on 99% of projects delivered, across 15 clients in 7 industries - Claude Certified Developer (Anthropic) and member of the Anthropic Claude Partner Network - 11,000+ YouTube subscribers, where I publish the AI systems I build in full, code included - 4 years in data science and ML engineering behind every system I ship - Based in the UK, working with clients worldwide TOOLS & STACK Claude | Claude Code | MCP | Anthropic API | OpenAI | Python | FastAPI | SQL | Docker | GitHub Actions | AWS | Azure | GCP | Gmail & Google Workspace | Notion | Slack | Stripe | Calendly | REST APIs | Webhooks | Power BI WHERE I CAN HELP AI Consulting AI opportunity assessment, workflow audit, use-case prioritisation, build-vs-buy analysis, automation feasibility review, AI roadmap, model and tool selection, production readiness review. AI Agents & Agentic Workflows AI agent development, agentic workflows, internal AI assistants, agent memory, tool calling, function calling, structured outputs, Model Context Protocol (MCP), human-in-the-loop approval steps. Workflow & Process Automation Business process automation, email and inbox automation, CRM automation, lead response and speed-to-lead, report automation, document routing, data synchronisation, event-driven workflows, scheduled pipelines. RAG & Knowledge Systems Retrieval-augmented generation, agentic RAG, internal knowledge bases, semantic search, vector databases, document chunking, embedding pipelines, source attribution, retrieval evaluation. LLM Application Development Anthropic Claude API, OpenAI API, prompt engineering, structured data extraction, document intelligence, PDF and invoice extraction, classification, summarisation. Reliability & Guardrails Prompt testing, output validation, hallucination checks, cost controls and token budgets, rate limit handling, error recovery, logging, monitoring, access controls. WHERE THE ENGINEERING COMES FROM Before AI systems I spent four years as a data scientist and ML engineer. I led data analytics at Adway, a Swedish recruitment technology company, supporting their scale to $10M+ ARR through ATS analysis and KPI reporting. I've built predictive models, Power BI and Looker Studio reporting, and SQL data models for clients in finance, legal recruitment, marketing and IT. Messy real-world data is where most automations fall over. It's the part I've been doing longest. Send me the process that's eating your team's hours. I'll tell you honestly whether AI can fix it, and what it would take.
