Selected Work

Where I put the work in.

Pocket Coach · D Jungle People

Backend and AI for a voice-first leadership coach, live on iOS and Android, built for D Jungle People, a respected 20-year Southeast Asian coaching firm, and modelled on the founder's own coaching cadence. An LLM runs a strict T-GROW protocol from their proprietary frameworks: one question per turn, exploration before advice, and a confidence-scored close, with speech-to-text in, neural text-to-speech out, and vector retrieval over the coaching corpus. It reached £100k+ in new revenue within four months of launch, with a 20% lift in post-workshop retention.

Worked on the real-time data sync, automated compliance tracking and smart job-matching that connect 1,492+ medical professionals to 4,990+ jobs at an 87% satisfaction rate.

Recommendations

What people say.

The managers and engineers I've built with, in their own words.

He worked across multiple projects simultaneously and consistently impressed me with his speed, quality of work, and ability to adapt in a fast-paced environment. A great team player and someone I would definitely recommend to any team looking for a strong AI engineer.

Uday Kiran Talagana

Technical PM, BRDGE

Managed me directly

Abdul-Malik is one of the most self-directed engineers I have worked with. He can be handed a hard problem and trusted to reason through it and follow through to completion at a high standard. If you need someone who can be handed a hard problem and trusted to deliver it, Abdul-Malik is that person.

Dansteve Adekanbi

Principal Software Engineer, AxiomFuse

Worked on the same team

What stood out immediately was his technical depth and his ability to take a problem from concept to a working, production-ready system with minimal handholding. I would work with him again without hesitation and recommend him strongly for senior AI and backend engineering roles.
