Principal AI Engineer · Speech & ASR
Engineering conversational AI and speech recognition models
I specialise in Automatic Speech Recognition, self-supervised learning, and on-device AI deployment — with deep expertise in multilingual and multimodal ASR. PhD-trained, industry-proven at Recordesure, Speechmatics and Huawei, and based in Cambridge, UK.
Areas of expertise
Automatic Speech Recognition
End-to-end and hybrid ASR system design, multilingual model training, and evaluation across diverse acoustic conditions and languages including Arabic.
Self-Supervised Learning
Feature extraction with wav2vec 2.0, HuBERT, and AV-HuBERT; SSL-to-Kaldi pipeline integration; multimodal audiovisual representations.
On-Device AI Deployment
INT8 quantisation, model compression, and real-time inference for edge and mobile environments with strict latency and memory constraints.
