Nicholas Namusanga, Data & Systems Engineer

Lead AI/Data Engineer (NDA), SaaS Platform

Feb 26 - Present

Remote, UK

Designed and built the AI and data layer of a behavioural analytics system now running in production. The pipeline ingests user activity data, structures it into a form an LLM can reason over, and runs analysis passes that score and rank potential platform improvements by predicted ROI. Output feeds directly into the product team's prioritisation workflow. Sole engineer on the AI/data side; project remains under NDA so specifics on architecture and dataset shape are available on request.

GasTrack

Remote, UK

Designed and built the full data backend for an AI-assisted parts lookup tool used by gas engineers. Ingests raw parts catalog data from the Parts Arena API, runs cleaning and normalization passes, and loads structured output into a vector store for semantic retrieval. The query layer sits on top of an LLM interface that lets engineers find parts by natural language instead of navigating supplier catalogs manually.

NitroSpark AI

Remote, UK

Co-founded NitroSpark and own the technical side end-to-end. Built the data and AI backend: ETL into a structured store, LLM-driven refinement and enrichment passes, and an automated function-call layer that lets the model trigger downstream actions. Production stack runs against the Anthropic API.

Lead Developer

Jan 16 - Dec 18

PSI Engine

Led development of a node-based physics simulation engine built from scratch in C++. Users compose physics equations as a graph of nodes, the engine evaluates the graph, runs the numerical work on CUDA, and renders the result in Vulkan in real time. The architecture effectively runs a DAG-driven compute pipeline with a VULKAN frontend.
