Applied Research

Questions before conclusions.

Research-led work where I start with a gap, investigate the problem, test an idea, and turn the useful parts into something that can be built.

LLM & Agentic AI Application Evaluation

How do we decide whether an AI application is actually working well?

Research direction

Exploring evaluation approaches for agentic and multi-agent applications, including how evidence can be captured, compared and surfaced for technical and governance decisions.

My contribution

Conceived the problem space, researched the gap, shaped the approach and proof of concept, and drove implementation into reusable evaluation and governance capabilities.
