About

Hi, I'm Mohamed — I was Co-Founder & AI Lead at Nordlys Logo Nordlys Labs, where we built an LLM routing system that scored 75.6% on SWE-bench Verified (December 2025), above the strongest published single-model baseline at the time (Claude Opus 4.5, 74.4%), and scaled to 500+ users.

I'm a Computer Science & AI graduate of RHUL Logo Royal Holloway, University of London (First-Class Honours, 2026). 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, taught Object-Oriented Programming & Software Engineering at Royal Holloway, and co-organise the London Systems Club.

More in my CV.

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

Nordlys Labs

United Kingdom | Feb. 2025 - May. 2026

Co-Founder & AI 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 scored 75.6% on SWE-bench Verified (December 2025), above the strongest published single-model baseline at the time (Claude Opus 4.5, 74.4%).
  • 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.
