AI engineer, embedded within governments and institutions across MENA. I write code that turns ambitions into systems that actually run. Currently early team in MENA at Brain.co; before that, Goldman Sachs in London.

Open to a small number of advisory conversations - if you’re trying to put AI into production and want a second pair of eyes, write to me at gautham.dkl@gmail.com.

What

Most AI inside large institutions never ships - it stalls in pilots, gets handed between vendors and IT, or arrives as a slide deck no civil servant can use. I work the other way: embedded with a single team, end-to-end, until the system is running and the people using it trust it.

Strategy, prototype, production, handover. One engineer, full ownership.
