Thomas Dawe

Applied AI Engineer

I build software that solves business problems. AI when it fits, automation when it works, solid code when that's all you need.

About Me

Based in London, I design and build applied AI systems—from translation agents to multi-agent orchestration platforms. My work combines technical implementation with product strategy, creating tools that solve real business problems at scale.

I co-founded a B2B services company in Japan serving enterprise clients, led digital growth initiatives, and advised on go-to-market strategy. Now I bring that business-first perspective to AI engineering—building systems that work in production, not just in notebooks.
