Engineering Lead — Secure AI, FinTech & Compliance Platforms
Next.js, Prisma, DevOps, Applied Mathematics
Research Profiles
I am an Engineering Lead specialising in the design and execution of security-critical, automation-driven platforms across FinTech, compliance, AI, and enterprise data systems. My work integrates applied mathematics, high-performance engineering, platform security, and cloud-native architecture, enabling systems that are not only scalable — but deterministic, auditable, and regulatory-ready. I build and lead multi-tenant, zero-trust platforms using Next.js, Prisma, Python, Rust, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines. My engineering approach emphasises deterministic data flows, encrypted pipelines, strict data contracts, and tenant-level isolation. I routinely apply set theory, mathematical proofs, numerical methods, and formal reasoning to guarantee predictable system behaviour in AI pipelines, classification engines, and financial automation workflows. I have authored an extensive body of technical papers spanning Monte Carlo mathematics, tensor analysis, arbitrage theory, distributed computing, geodesic metrics, blockchain analytics, and control systems — bringing research-grade problem solving directly into production engineering.

"Darius has been an absolute pleasure to work with. We started the project with one scope in mind but quickly evolved to include the development of an AI system for my e-commerce site. The system caters for the sizing of pregnant women with the intention of reducing returns and exchanges based on sizing. Darius completed this project within a few days and also oversaw the migration and amendments to our site. I would highly recommend Darius."
