About

Hi, I'm Mohamed — Co-Founder & ML Research Lead at Nordlys Logo Nordlys Labs, where we built an LLM routing system that ranked #1 on SWE-bench, defeating frontier models, and scaled to 500+ users.

I'm a final-year Computer Science & AI student at RHUL Logo Royal Holloway, University of London, graduating with First-Class Honours. My research is on transformer attention mechanisms and KV-cache compression for large language models. Alongside that, I've worked on adversarial robustness for ML-based intrusion detection at the ISG Smart Card & IoT Security Centre, sports analytics at Stats Perform Logo Stats Perform, and currently teach Object-Oriented Programming & Software Engineering at Royal Holloway.

More in my CV.

Interests: Machine Learning, LLM Systems, Applied AI, Product Development.

Nordlys Labs

United Kingdom | Feb. 2025 - Present

Co-Founder & ML Research Lead

  • Co-founded Nordlys Labs and led ML research on LLM routing — picking the best model per request based on task signals.
  • Designed and shipped a routing system that ranked #1 on SWE-bench, beating frontier models such as Claude and GPT.
  • Scaled the platform to 500+ users; built the production stack on Python / FastAPI / LangChain with Redis + PostgreSQL behind a Dockerised deploy.
  • Selected for the Antler accelerator program; presented the MoM (Mixture of Models) framework at an online meetup.
