I architect and deploy production-grade AI systems — from LLM inference infrastructure to multi-agent workflows and RAG pipelines. My work spans the full stack: GPU cluster management, model deployment, agentic system design, and enterprise integration. WHO I WORK WITH Mid-to-large enterprises and funded startups who are past the "let's explore AI" phase. You have a real problem — high support volume, slow internal knowledge access, manual workflows — and you need an engineer who can take it from architecture through production deployment, not just an API wrapper. WHAT I SHIP • RAG systems — PDF/document/database-grounded assistants with hybrid retrieval, reranking, evaluation. LangChain, LlamaIndex, LangGraph, pgvector, Pinecone, Elasticsearch. • AI agents — production multi-agent systems with tool-use, function calling, MCP integration, stateful workflows. • Voice AI — Retell, Twilio, Vapi, ElevenLabs conversational pipelines. • Inference infrastructure — vLLM, SGLang, TGI, AWQ/FP8 quantization, multi-GPU orchestration on Kubernetes. • Full-stack delivery — FastAPI, Django, React/Next.js, Postgres, MongoDB, Redis. HOW I WORK I build systems that are modular, observable, and production-ready — not prototypes. Phoenix/OpenTelemetry instrumentation is in from day one. Every ship has latency, cost, and reliability budgets attached. Focus is always on measurable business impact, not vanity metrics. RECENT ENGAGEMENTS • Sovereign AI platform (1.4M+ users) — multi-provider LLM gateway on 4×A100 cluster with 130+ production agentic tools. • Two-sided clinical AI platform — multi-agent nutrition coaching with RAG over clinical knowledge bases, automating 100% of nutritionist workflows. • Top-5 global LLM education benchmark — raised accuracy 68% → 85% through context engineering. LET'S TALK IF You have a real, concrete use case. You are looking for a data scientist and a software engineer who delivers end to end solutions with clean docs and trust and reliability as a feature.

Please also see my blog: jiddualexander.com I'm a data scientist / analyst and an expert R programmer. I am strong with ggplot (ggplot2 data visualisation) and I am also a Shiny App developer. I can create custom dashboards for your data with intelligent analytics and interactive graphics. I program in R 6 days a week and I am very confident with all aspects of a data analysis project. I use mostly the very powerful packages created by Hadley Wickham (data import, cleaning and tidying (tidyr), manipulation (dplyr), visualisation (ggplot2) and reporting (Shiny)). The list of online certificates (below) is a good indication of the focus of my skills. To understand the power of these tools for creating dashboards I suggest you take a look at RStudio's Shiny gallery (shiny.rstudio.com/gallery/). I have participated in the Master R Developer Workshop by RStudio, thaught by no other than Hadley Wickham himself. My expert knowledge in R extends to high quality functional programming, package building, meta-programming and more. I have a Master Degree in Theoretical Physics from Sussex University (UK) and very strong understanding of analytics and machine learning, including neural networks (which I studied at Uni), support Vector machines, RandomForest, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and much more. Including the tools to train machine learning models I also have a fundamental understanding and set of tools to apply the correct models for specific situations.
