Laith MasriEngTech TMIET

Electronics Service Technician

Bognor Regis, UK

Previous industrial role working on network and telecommunications DC power systems.

• Diagnosed, repaired, reworked, tested and validated switch-mode rectifiers, inverters and supervisory controllers, including R2048/IR-type and APR48-family hardware, Maxi/Midi systems and SM12/SM12E controller arrangements.
• Isolated board-level faults through structured inspection, continuity and electrical checks, using multimeters and bench power supplies to compare behaviour with expected operation.
• Completed soldering, PCB rework, component and connection inspection, and post-repair functional validation. Followed technical procedures, maintained service records and escalated non-routine faults.

Founder

United Kingdom

An independent studio for applied AI, quantitative tooling, automation and hardware experiments.

• Take ideas through problem framing, prototyping, technical validation and public release across software and electronics.
• Develop web products and research tools, alongside local-agent infrastructure and reliability experiments.
• Building Sevra, a control layer for AI-agent actions, with policy checks, human approval and an auditable execution path.

Quantitative research & research engineering

Available-on-Arrival Depth (AOAD), an independent market-microstructure research project.

• Investigate whether recent public activity on one venue helps predict how much of an initial, fixed-price depth cohort remains displayed on another after an arrival horizon.
• Build deterministic order-book replay and point-in-time evaluation software, combining synthetic studies with bounded, read-only public-feed checks.
• Keep conditional prediction separate from structural causality, executable fills and trading performance; report the methods and their boundaries through a public overview.

Python analysis & decision-support tools

Remote

Project-based analysis and dashboard development.

• Built Python analysis tools and dashboards, translating quantitative and commercial questions into structured data workflows and decision-support outputs.
• Communicated findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders and worked independently in a remote setting.
