About
I build systems grounded in first principles—starting from reliable infrastructure and evolving toward AI-driven solutions. With roots in cloud engineering and site reliability, I’m now exploring how machine learning can create meaningful products. I share experiments and learnings on X (@mrer42), focusing on practical AI applications and Python for data science. Formally trained in Electronic Engineering and Information Communication Technology, with recent specialized training in AI/ML. I enjoy building in public, learning from the community, and contributing to projects that have real impact.

I've worked on a variety of projects on my spare time, see below.
Research Agent - Local LLM
Built a fully local research agent that explores any topic, synthesizes information, and generates summaries without relying on external APIs. The agent can search the web for context and works efficiently on Apple Silicon hardware. An experiment in privacy-preserving AI.
Customer Satisfaction Prediction Model
Developed and trained a classification model for predicting passenger satisfaction on high-speed rail. Performed exploratory data analysis, engineered features, and compared decision trees and random forests. Learned the importance of data quality and feature engineering.

MIT IDSS Hackathon - Shinkansen Satisfaction Prediction
Remote
Built a machine learning pipeline to predict customer satisfaction for Shinkansen passengers. Finished as 1st runner-up. The experience reinforced the importance of understanding business context and user needs when building predictive models. - X
X-ray Lite - Lightweight Medical Image Analysis
Sydney, Australia
Developed an accessible tool for basic X-ray image analysis using AI. Focused on making medical AI approachable and understanding the challenges of deploying AI in resource-constrained settings.
