Curriculum Vitæ · MMXXVI
Innovation researcher working across product research, applied AI, and go-to-market. I run technology and trend research, prototype the systems that come out of it (immersive 3D, autonomous agents, computational valuation), and brief stakeholders on where the next bets are.
Over the last twelve months I've shipped ten production applications and represented two brands on-stand at four international tech expos. Single-operator using agentic AI workflows.

Selected work
Fine-tuned domain models, multi-agent research systems, and detection pipelines.
Entity-centric real-estate valuation platform. Confidence-tiered ontology, hex-grid geospatial risk modelling (flood, vegetation, urban classification), six-month price forecasts. Pulls from RTA, KHDA, EIBOR, World Bank, and Airbnb open datasets.
Domain LLM for Dubai luxury real estate. QLoRA fine-tune on roughly 11,000 instruction pairs sourced from Dubai Land Department, UK Land Registry, France DVF, Singapore URA, and the World Bank. Deployed via Ollama, so per-query cost is zero. Wrapped in a multi-agent research broker exposed over WhatsApp.
Atlas extended with multi-tenancy and open-vocabulary detection (OWLv2 plus SAM cascade) over real Onyx Tower xbag scans. 233 fire-extinguisher claims posted to atlas with tenant isolation, audit log, idempotency, request-id tracing. Platt-scaled calibration (0.70 raw to 0.910 calibrated probability).
Phase 1 image-to-vault capture POC with SOTA hybrid retrieval (BM25 + MiniLM text-dense + CLIP image-dense, RRF k=60). 150 vault notes indexed. WhatsApp bridge for phone-camera intake, allow-list gated, vault-sovereignty model.
3D Gaussian Splatting research and a customer-facing web-native viewer.
Applied 3D Gaussian Splatting pipeline spanning roughly 22 engines: Lyra (image to 3DGS), GaussianEditor, recon-bench, splat_cleaner, gauzilla, Matterport bridge, reflection-aware-5dgs. Covers scanned interiors, AI-generated scenes for unbuilt properties (video diffusion, novel-view synthesis, monocular depth), and city-scale capture.
City-scale Gaussian Splatting twin of Dubai. Lyra plus Google Street View capture producing georeferenced building scans. First building, Onyx Tower, is live in the property-search flow with a free 3D stack (Cesium ion OSM Buildings plus Bing/Sentinel imagery) as the public alternative to paid Google Map Tiles.
Web-native 3DGS viewer. Mobile tap-to-move navigation, LOD streaming, golden-hour relighting via UniRelight, Matterport iframe fallback. Customer-facing layer for both scanned and AI-generated luxury properties.
Executive cockpits and public marketing surfaces.
Executive cockpit for the BARNES Dubai innovation programme. Project status, valuation analytics, competitive signal, document workspace, multilingual role-based access, embedded Apache Superset BI, CRM Copilot chat over shadow CRM log.
Public marketplace for luxury real-estate opportunities. Four languages, hreflang, structured data for AEO discovery, EmailJS lead capture, GSAP animations, Swiper carousels. Distinct 'Smart Deal' framing. Never 'price drop / panic' copy.
Luxury editorial brand site. v4 Editorial Cream + Ink brand, 1990s Italian magazine aesthetic. Renderer targets Hyperframes for reel-format property storytelling.
Subscription web app for cinephile designers. Two surfaces - a personal taste graph that ships a weekly cinematographer-voice essay (a 'through line') over your library, and a Reddit-style Learn community for cinematography, lighting, colour, production design, directors, shot of the week. Localhost-only through validation; private beta later.
Submitted papers and OSS pipeline scouting.
Tech Communications track submission on applied 3D Gaussian Splatting in luxury real-estate visualisation. Documents the pipeline from interior scans through AI-generated novel-view synthesis to city-scale capture.
12 / 13OSS media-generation stack for the consultancy practice. LongCat-Video, FLUX, SD3.5, Real-ESRGAN, SAM 2, F5-TTS. Text/image-to-video, enhancement, segmentation, voice/music synthesis.

Research & output
SIGGRAPH Asia 2026, Tech Communications track. Pipeline spans interior scans, AI-generated scenes for unbuilt properties, and city-scale capture.
16th channel in the in-house Stage 7 badness scorer. Integrates Fov-3DGS proxy from horizon-research. Plugged into Stage 3b of the splat_cleaner pipeline.
Sigmoid calibration of combined raw detection scores: 0.70 to 0.910 calibrated probability. Closes the gap between confidence threshold and true acceptance rate so 'auto-confirm at 0.90' means 90%.
BM25 sparse + MiniLM text-dense + CLIP image-dense fused via Reciprocal Rank Fusion (k=60). Indexed 150 vault notes. Recall improvements over pure-text retrieval validated empirically.
Design-extract pass over Knight Frank, Savills, Sotheby's, Christie's, and BARNES parent. 29 to 31 files per site. Findings: BARNES Dubai gold #C8A96E approximates Christie's #c9ac77. KF red, Savills yellow, Sotheby's orange read as mass-market signaling and were rejected.
Product-innovation reports, competitive teardowns, market briefs, valuation methodology notes, integration specs (35+ across the workspace), and open-source tooling around 3DGS and multi-agent orchestration. Available on request.
