Greater Manchester

Born and raised in the North West

Brandon grew up in Greater Manchester, at the centre of the UK's fastest-growing technology economy. That grounding shaped a working style the region is known for: direct, practical and allergic to hype. He retains strong personal and professional ties to Manchester and works with teams there regularly.

Plymouth, Devon

Resident in the South West

Now resident in the Greater Plymouth area, Brandon runs KREO from Plymouth, serving businesses across Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall on-site, and organisations throughout the United Kingdom remotely. The practice deliberately bridges both regions: Northern directness, South West roots.

The practice

Three disciplines, one engineer

KREO combines artificial intelligence engineering (local and on-prem LLM serving, GPU-optimised inference, MLOps and agentic pipelines) with the statistical rigour of data science and the structural craft of design architecture. Clients work directly with Brandon from first architecture decision to production handover.

The portfolio

Private by design, viewings on request

The applications Brandon designs and engineers with artificial intelligence are built for client environments and deployed on client hardware, so they are not exhibited publicly on this site. The confidentiality is the point. Viewings are available on request: contact him directly for a demonstration of live systems relevant to your sector, and a conversation about how the same engineering could assist your organisation.

How the practice works

Evidence over assertion
Every claim about model quality, latency or improvement is backed by an evaluation that can be re-run.
Private by default
Systems engineered to run on the client's own hardware, so confidential data never leaves the building.
Reproducible by construction
Versioned pipelines, documented datasets and conclusions that can be defended to a board or auditor.
Engineered, not decorated
Design treated as architecture: component systems and tokens that scale, not one-off artwork.
One accountable engineer
No handoffs, no account layers. The person you speak to is the person building the system.
Built to hand over
Documentation, observability and training so the client's own team can run what was built.
