Hi, I'm Aleks 👋

I build AI systems — RAG pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and applied ML tools for the public sector.

🚀 Currently at the Incubator for AI (DSIT) as programme lead for the Open Source AI Fellowship post-training foundation models for Government use cases on the UK's national AI supercomputer (Isambard), coordinating delivery with Meta and the Alan Turing Institute.

🌍 Previously at the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero, I designed and deployed production RAG systems serving multiple user groups.


What I build 💻

Repo What it does
govscan_streamlit Scans and classifies international government GitHub organisations — live Streamlit app
name_origin Probabilistic name-to-country inference with LLM-assisted ranking and evaluation harness

Background 🌱

PhD in Mathematics (University of Edinburgh) → Postdoc Research Fellow (Flatiron Institute, New York) → UK Civil Service AI roles. I've moved from large-scale stochastic modelling on HPC clusters to production LLM systems, but the underlying interest is the same: building things that work reliably in messy, real-world conditions.

I write about rebuilding technical skills in public on my Substack: covering RAG systems, fine-tuning, evaluation frameworks, and what it actually looks like to transition from strategic AI roles into hands-on engineering.
