Senior AI and cloud engineer · London

AI agents, cloud and software. Made simple.

I'm Zaniar. I led the Azure AI Foundry work on a Deutsche Bank AI programme and now lead cloud and AI platform delivery at Tokio Marine Kiln. Through MadeSimple I bring the same standard to businesses of every size, and you work with me directly.

Organisations I've delivered for

What I do

AI that does real work.

I connect the tools your business already runs on, put AI agents to work across them, and keep it all secure.

Illustration: email, spreadsheets, CRM, documents, chat, data, payments and calendar connect to your business; AI agents work across them; a secure boundary surrounds everything; a website and app reach your customers.

  1. Connect your tools

    Email, files, data and apps, finally talking to each other.

  2. Put AI agents to work

    Agents that read, decide and act, with you in the loop.

  3. Secure it properly

    Private networks, access control and monitoring.

  4. Reach your customers

    Websites and apps that sit on top of it all.

Pick the one that sounds like you.

What I'd do

Let agents do the tidying.

Agents read the files, fix the formats and load clean data into one place your reports can trust. A person checks anything the agent isn’t sure about.

Working together

Two ways to work with me.

The same engineer either way. What changes is the size of the problem and how we set it up.

For enterprise teams

A senior, hands-on lead for your AI programme.

  • Take AI from pilot to a secure production platform
  • Agents, MCP servers and Python services, built by me
  • Networking, access and monitoring your security team can sign off
  • Contract or consultancy, inside your governance
Talk about a programme

For growing businesses

A practical first step, with a fixed quote.

  • Automate the repetitive work your team does by hand
  • Connect the tools you already pay for
  • A website or app that brings in enquiries
  • Scope and cost agreed before any work starts
Talk about your business

Working together

How we get there.

Things often start as a knot: spreadsheets, inboxes and tools that don't talk to each other. Here's how we pull it straight.

  1. Step 1

    Talk it through

    Tell me about the business, the problem or the idea. You don't need a technical brief to start.

  2. Step 2

    Agree what is worth doing

    I'll recommend an approach and set out the scope and cost before any work starts. If there is a simpler answer, I'll say so.

  3. Step 3

    Build it and put it to work

    I build the agreed solution, test it with you and show you how to use it. Any ongoing support is agreed as part of the work.

Questions

Before you get in touch.

How I work with your data
Can you work inside our security and procurement process?
Yes. I've worked inside bank and insurer governance: security reviews, change control, private networking and access policies. I can join as a contractor or work through MadeSimple.
Do I need to know exactly what I want?
No. Bring the problem or the idea. Working out the right thing to build is part of the conversation.
Do you work with smaller businesses?
Yes. My background includes large organisations, but MadeSimple is also for smaller businesses that need practical help with AI, software or their systems, with the scope and cost agreed up front.
Will I work directly with you?
Yes. You'll speak with me about the work and the decisions along the way.
What happens on the first call?
We'll talk about what you need and whether I can help. The first call is free, and you'll know the scope and cost before any work starts.
How do you handle our systems and data?
We agree what access the work needs and how information will be handled before anything starts. You can read more about my approach on the trust pages.

Let's talk

What would make the biggest difference to your business?

Tell me what you're working on, whether it's an AI programme at a large organisation or your first automation. We'll work out the next step together.
