Services
Senior-led delivery across AI/LLMs, cloud and backend engineering, high-performance computing, and large-scale research and innovation programmes.
Delivery owner: All services are delivered hands-on by Dr Nikos Baltas.
Core services
Targeted, outcomes-led engagements in regulated and research-intensive environments
AI & LLM platforms
Design and delivery of secure, production-grade AI and LLM systems, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), evaluation pipelines, prompt security, and operational governance.
Cloud & backend engineering
Robust backend services and data platforms using modern cloud-native architectures. Includes APIs, data pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, observability, and secure delivery practices for regulated environments.
HPC & scientific automation
Automation and optimisation of high-performance and scientific computing workflows, including job orchestration, schedulers (SLURM/PBS), containers (Apptainer), reproducibility, and performance profiling.
Research, innovation & large-scale systems
From funded research programmes to production-grade platforms
Research & innovation programme delivery
End-to-end delivery of collaborative programmes involving universities, industry partners, and public funding bodies — including technical architecture, consortium coordination, work-package leadership, and delivery governance.
Distributed & large-scale systems architecture
Architecture and delivery of distributed systems across heterogeneous and geographically dispersed environments — spanning HPC, grid-based systems, and modern hybrid cloud platforms.
Technical proposal & bid leadership
Leadership and technical contribution to complex proposals and bids for public-sector, research, and innovation funding — aligning technical scope with delivery and operational constraints.
Innovation & early-stage delivery
Bridging research, startups, and enterprise environments
Innovation-to-production transition
Support for organisations moving advanced research, prototypes, or early-stage systems into secure, scalable production environments — with appropriate engineering, testing, and operational controls.
Startup & early-stage technology advisory
Selective advisory support for early-stage and growth technology companies, focusing on architecture, technical risk reduction, and scaling data-intensive systems.
Programme & delivery leadership
Hands-on leadership for technically complex programmes — including programme setup and recovery, delivery assurance, stakeholder coordination, and governance in regulated environments.
