About

AI Solutions Architect & Systems Engineer — designing production-grade AI from research spine to cloud deploy.

I'm Nashiru — an AI Solutions Architect and Systems Engineer based in Canada, focused on production-grade agentic AI. MSc in Applied Engineering at the University of Northern Iowa (in progress), with an MM in Innovation & Entrepreneurship from Queen's University (Smith School). I design and ship AI systems end-to-end: from agentic orchestration to ML for industrial settings.

Three ventures in parallel right now — HVAC-CyberEnergy-CoDesign (research + applied prototype for building systems), MyTapDom (AI infrastructure for celebrations, in beta), and xKargo (multi-agent orchestration for SME importers in emerging markets). The thread connecting all three: cloud-native, end-to-end, and built to survive contact with reality.

Currently open to AI Solutions Architect, AI Systems Engineer, and senior MLOps roles in Canada or Canada-friendly remote. If you're hiring or building in any of these spaces, let's talk.

Featured Research

HVAC-CyberEnergy Co-Design Framework

Co-Optimizing Energy Efficiency and Cybersecurity in AI-Driven HVAC Systems: A Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning and Lightweight Cryptographic Co-Design Framework for Building Automation.

Theoretical foundation: Constrained Multi-Objective Pareto-Optimal Control for Cyber-Physical Systems — simultaneous optimization of energy cost (J₁) and security cost (J₂).

Existing deliverables

Springer Publication (Feb 2026)

Muniru & Sun. Cluster Computing. AI-based enhanced Twofish encryption: empowering a secure voting mechanism with SnS and extended cyclic groups. The crypto + AI co-design from this paper is the foundation I'm carrying forward into the HVAC framework. Read on Springer →

TECH 6292 Research Proposal

Full integrative framework (multi-objective RL + crypto co-design). May 2026.

STAT 5784 ML Paper

Machine Learning-Based Intrusion Detection for IoT Networks in Building Automation. RT-IoT2022 dataset (123,117 instances, 83 features), 7 classifiers compared. May 2026.

Production extension (in progress)

Cloud-native deployment on AWS

RAG threat co-pilot + agentic incident-response. Public repos: hvac-cyber-id · hvac-threat-copilot · hvac-ir-agent.

Why it matters: U.S. buildings consume 40% of national energy, HVAC is the largest commercial share, and BAS attacks rose 9× from 2023 to 2024. The work sits inside the National AI Initiative Act (2020) and CISA's OT/IoT cybersecurity priority.

What I build

Three pillars, one HVAC narrative

Production AI/ML Systems

End-to-end ML pipelines for high-stakes domains — research-backed, containerized, observable. Detection models, classification systems, anomaly engines, with proper evaluation rigor (precision/recall on minority classes, calibration, drift).

Python · PyTorch · scikit-learn · FastAPI

Cyber-Physical & IoT Security

AI for OT environments — building automation, industrial control, IoT fleets. Threat detection, RAG-based threat-explanation, lightweight cryptography for constrained devices (Twofish + Substitution-and-Shuffle networks, per my published work).

RT-IoT2022 · CISA OT advisories · Lightweight crypto

Cloud-Native Architecture (AWS)

Reference architectures and production deployments on AWS — SageMaker for serving, Lambda + Step Functions for orchestration, S3 + Athena for telemetry, CloudWatch for ops, KMS for at-rest encryption.

Three ventures, in flight

HVAC-CyberEnergy-CoDesign — ML-driven threat detection & energy optimization for building systems

A research spine plus applied prototype combining anomaly detection, energy load forecasting, and agentic decision support for HVAC infrastructure. Underpins my MSc work and an in-progress Springer publication. Public GitHub repo dropping by Sun May 17. Production repos in build: hvac-cyber-id · hvac-threat-copilot · hvac-ir-agent.

MyTapDom — AI infrastructure for celebrations & life moments

A startup in beta building agentic AI tools for celebration planning, invitations, and personalized event flows. Combines RAG, multimodal generation, and event orchestration. Closing the loop to first paying user this month.
