eSAM — Exposure Sensing Animated Mannequin
Sep 2022 - Feb 2024Human-sized robotic mannequin for chemical exposure testing with distributed sensors
AI Engineer · Agentic AI, LLMs & Multimodal ML · PhD
I build agentic, multimodal AI systems end-to-end — from data and models through evaluation to real-time deployment. PhD in Computer Science with 20+ publications (67 citations, h-index 5) and a track record of shipping production hardware–software systems across 60+ data centres and leading cross-functional teams. Currently a Research Fellow at the University of Hertfordshire, working on agentic AI (tool-using LLM workflows, MCP), vision–language models, and multimodal sensor fusion for healthcare and assistive robotics. UK-based — no visa sponsorship required (Global Talent).

I'm an AI engineer who builds agentic, multimodal AI systems end-to-end — from sensor data and models through systematic evaluation to real-time and edge deployment. I work across agentic AI (tool-using LLM workflows and the Model Context Protocol), vision–language models, computer vision, and multimodal sensor fusion.
What's unusual about my background is that it's vertically integrated: before research I shipped real products. I led the delivery of integrated hardware–software infrastructure-monitoring systems deployed across 60+ data centres, and led an electronics/robotics group whose teams won the IranOpen @Home league five times and competed at international RoboCup. I don't just train models — I've owned products from concept to deployment and led cross-functional teams.
I hold a PhD in Computer Science and an MSc in Mechatronics Engineering, with 20+ publications (67 citations, h-index 5) across ICRA, ICSR, and BioRob, plus the publicly available RHM-HAR datasets. Current work at the University of Hertfordshire spans the SWAG and Hospital at Home projects: agentic activity recognition, vision–language fall detection, and multimodal intent detection for wearable assistive robotics.
What I'm looking for: applied AI / AI-engineering roles where I can build and ship — agentic AI, LLM products, and multimodal ML — at UK startups, scaleups, or research-driven product teams.
