Research Profiles

The Bigger Picture

I'm a Senior IT Engineer at SAP with 15+ years in enterprise IT — and I'm now actively transitioning into AI research and engineering. This isn't a side project. I'm working on real research papers, building open-source tools used in production, and building the credentials to back it up.

Most people build one of these: a CV, a portfolio, a GitHub, a personal website, or an ORCID profile. I'm building all of them together — so each one strengthens the next.

ORCID View

ORCID 0009-0005-6754-3864 — registered and active. Every paper I publish will be permanently linked to this ID.

Research Papers

Currently in Literature Review on "Enterprise AI Copilot for IT Operations." Expected Q4 2026. Writing from 15 years of real enterprise experience — not theory.

HiTecH AI HUB View

This website — built entirely by me using Next.js, TypeScript, and Claude AI. It's both a portfolio and a live demonstration of what I build.

GitHub View

Active repos: Enterprise IT Copilot, AI Asset Intelligence Platform, AIOps Research Lab, RAG Security Framework. Real tools, not toy projects.

LinkedIn + CV View

15+ years at SAP, 13+ certifications including Azure Security & SAP AI Hub, MBA from Buckinghamshire University UK. Every claim is verified.

AI Engineer Career

The goal: Senior AI/ML Engineer or AI Research Engineer role in enterprise tech. This entire ecosystem is built to make that transition undeniable.

This is not a hobby. I publish, build, and ship — and this page is the proof. Every section here represents real work in progress, not aspirations.

Research Interests

Enterprise AI

Core Focus

The foundation of my research identity

Applying large language models and agentic AI to enterprise IT workflows — turning complex operations into intelligent, autonomous systems that augment human decision-making.

AIOps

Applied arm of Enterprise AI

AI-driven IT operations — predictive incident management, automated remediation, and intelligent monitoring pipelines that learn from enterprise environments.

Cloud Security

Where AI meets risk management

Zero Trust architecture, Azure Secure Score optimisation, and AI-assisted threat detection — securing the infrastructure that Enterprise AI runs on.

Generative AI

The engine powering it all

Practical GenAI integration — RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, Claude/GPT tool use, and enterprise AI copilots grounded in real operational data.

“These aren't scattered interests — they tell a coherent story: making enterprise IT smarter, safer, and more autonomous through AI.”

Publications

Publications Coming Soon

Research papers and articles on Enterprise AI, AIOps, and Cloud Security are currently being prepared for submission.
