Applied Research — 2026

Questions worth
answering rigorously.

We conduct applied research where theory meets production constraint. Our findings are shared openly with the engineering community.

012024–

Artificial Intelligence

Practical AI implementations built for production. We study model optimisation, deployment constraints, and the compound effects of integrating large models into enterprise workflows.

Focus threads

  • LLM fine-tuning and deployment
  • Computer vision for industrial use
  • Reinforcement learning for optimisation
  • Explainable AI and interpretability
022023–

Distributed Systems

System architectures that maintain performance and reliability under scale. Our focus is on the boundary between theoretical guarantees and practical operational costs.

Focus threads

  • Microservices orchestration patterns
  • Database sharding and replication
  • Distributed caching mechanisms
  • Event-driven architecture design
032023–

Software Engineering

Development methodologies that reduce technical debt without sacrificing velocity. We analyse what actually works versus what the industry merely assumes works.

Focus threads

  • Type systems in large codebases
  • Automated testing and coverage metrics
  • Performance profiling techniques
  • Static analysis integration
042024–

Security & Privacy

Application security and privacy-preserving computation at the intersection of engineering and policy. We focus primarily on zero-trust patterns and secure development lifecycle integration.

Focus threads

  • Zero-trust architecture
  • Encryption at rest and in transit
  • Authentication and authorisation
  • Secure development lifecycle
