Independent Research Studio · Est. 2025

Applied intelligence, engineered with the rigor of research.

Phoenix Labs is a solo studio building production AI, machine-learning systems and secure cloud infrastructure for teams that value what the evidence says over what the demo shows.

§ Services

Five practices,
one collaborator.

Every engagement is delivered end-to-end by a single practitioner. No handoffs, no account layers — just the person building the thing.

  1. 01

    Artificial Intelligence

    Custom LLMs, fine-tuning, and AI assistants that turn unstructured knowledge into fast, reliable workflows.

    • Retrieval-augmented systems
    • LLM fine-tuning & evaluation
    • Agentic tooling
  2. 02

    Machine Learning

    Deep neural networks and MLOps pipelines designed for production — reproducible, observable, and honest about their limits.

    • TensorFlow / Keras models
    • Kubeflow pipelines on GCP
    • Model monitoring & drift
  3. 03

    Applied Research

    Graph neural networks, reinforcement learning and scheduling — bridging peer-reviewed research and shipped systems.

    • Literature-to-prototype
    • GNNs & deep RL
    • Experiment design
  4. 04

    Cloud Development

    Full-stack systems on GCP, AWS and Azure — from data platforms and APIs to distributed schedulers.

    • Data platforms & ETL
    • Microservices & APIs
    • CI/CD & infrastructure
  5. 05

    Cybersecurity

    Machine-learning-guided security research and hardening for containerised, distributed environments.

    • Container security
    • ML-assisted anomaly detection
    • Threat modelling
§ Approach

A quiet preference for the measurable.

Phoenix Labs exists because interesting problems deserve careful work. It's a place to research, build, and share — a side project run with the same standards as any lab worth its name.

Principle 01

Science first

Decisions are grounded in measurement. If a model or system cannot be evaluated, it is not shipped.

Principle 02

Built to last

Systems are engineered for the team that inherits them — documented, testable, and boring where it matters.

Principle 03

Given back

Research, notes and tooling are contributed back to the community whenever the work allows it.

§ Selected work

Recent notebooks.

LLM · Manufacturing

AI Quotation Assistant

A fine-tuned language model that reads engineering requirement files and produces structured quotations in minutes instead of days.

Research · Distributed Systems

KAIROS — GNN Scheduler

A framework that trains Graph Neural Networks from an ensemble of weaker heuristics, producing a scheduler that outperforms state-of-the-art baselines.

Publication · Deep RL

DAG Workflow Scheduling

Peer-reviewed work on Actor–Critic reinforcement learning for scheduling directed acyclic workflows on shared infrastructure.
