KREO: Artificial Intelligence Engineering, Data Science & Design Architecture in Plymouth, UK
I engineer the systems that run artificial intelligence: local LLM serving, GPU-optimised inference, MLOps and agentic pipelines, grounded in rigorous data science and delivered through considered design architecture.

I'm Brandon Allen, an artificial intelligence engineer, data scientist and design architect. Born and raised in Greater Manchester, now based in Plymouth, I work with clients in both cities and across the UK. I take AI systems from the GPU and inference layer through to the interface: local and on-prem LLM serving, fine-tuning and evaluation, statistical modelling and analysis, agentic pipelines, and the design architecture that makes them usable.
Local & on-prem LLM serving, GPU-optimised inference, low latency.
Data science discipline: measurement, evaluation and statistical rigour.
Systems, design tokens and DX: engineered, not decorated.

About Brandon
Plymouth, UKKREO is the practice of Brandon Allen, an artificial intelligence engineer, data scientist and design architect. Born and raised in Greater Manchester and now resident in Plymouth, he works with clients in both cities and across the United Kingdom, and remotely worldwide.
The work spans three disciplines. Artificial intelligence engineering: LLM inference, GPU optimisation, MLOps and agentic pipelines. Data science: statistical modelling, evaluation methodology and analysis grounded in evidence. Design architecture: the systems, interfaces and developer experience that make the result usable.
You are not passed through layers of account management. You work directly with Brandon Allen, the person designing the architecture, building the systems and shipping them to production. The value is in that integration: deep technical range, real design craft and a clear understanding of how modern AI systems need to run.
A note on the portfolio
The applications I design and engineer with artificial intelligence are private by nature, built for client environments and deployed on client hardware, so they are not exhibited on this site. Viewings are available on request: contact me directly and I will demonstrate live systems relevant to your sector, and how the same engineering could be put to work for you.

AI · Data · DesignOne engineer across the full AI stack: inference infrastructure, MLOps, data science, agentic systems and the design architecture that ships them.
You work directly with Brandon from architecture to deployment: fewer handoffs, faster decisions, and systems designed to run offline, scale cleanly and be handed over.
LLM serving & inference
Local and on-prem model serving on llama.cpp and vLLM, GPU-optimised for low latency and constrained VRAM: quantization, KV-cache and flash-attention.
MLOps & fine-tuning
Training and QLoRA fine-tunes, evaluation harnesses, dataset pipelines and reproducible merge-then-quantize deployment.
Data science & analytics
Statistical modelling, exploratory analysis and evaluation methodology: conclusions drawn from your data with quantified confidence, not intuition.
Agentic systems & RAG
Tool-using agents, retrieval and citation-grounded pipelines that remain accurate fully offline, with no cloud dependency required.
AI-integrated web apps
Next.js product surfaces wired to model backends: streaming responses, live data and interfaces designed from the user journey down.
Design systems & architecture
Component systems, design tokens, developer tooling and observability: visual and platform systems engineered to scale.

No layers, no handoffs. One accountable engineer across architecture, build and deployment, with the design sense to make the result genuinely usable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Plain AnswersWhat services does KREO provide?
Artificial intelligence engineering, data science and design architecture: local and on-prem LLM serving, GPU-optimised inference, MLOps and fine-tuning, statistical modelling and analysis, agentic systems, and the design systems and interfaces that make them usable.
Where is KREO based?
In Plymouth, Devon. I live and work in the Greater Plymouth area, and I was born and raised in Greater Manchester where I keep strong working ties, so engagements run on-site across the South West, in Manchester, and remotely throughout the United Kingdom.
Can AI systems run privately on our own hardware?
Yes. Private, on-prem AI is the core specialism: open-weight language models served on your own GPUs or private cloud mean no data leaves your environment and no dependency on third-party APIs. For regulated or client-confidential work this is often the deciding factor.
Who does the work?
Brandon Allen, directly. KREO is an independent practice, not an agency: one accountable engineer across architecture, data science, implementation and deployment, with every system documented and handed over so your team can run it.
Can I see examples of your AI applications?
Not publicly. The applications I design and engineer with artificial intelligence are built for client environments and run on client hardware, so they are not exhibited on this site. Viewings are available on request: contact me directly and I will demonstrate live systems relevant to your sector and discuss how the same engineering could assist you.
How does an engagement begin?
With a short scoping conversation, followed by a small pilot that demonstrates value on your real data before any larger commitment. Email b.a@live.co.uk or use the contact form and I will reply with an honest assessment of feasibility and the clearest next step.
