What I build

Practical AI, scoped to what your business actually needs — not a proof-of-concept that stalls after the demo.

01 — vision

Computer vision models

Classification, detection, identification and segmentation systems trained on your data — from first prototype through to a model that holds up in the real world.

02 — systems

Custom AI & ML development

Beyond vision: predictive models, time-series and decision systems built with the same rigour, tailored to the problem rather than a template.

03 — delivery

Deployment & support

Models are only useful running somewhere. I handle deployment, inference pipelines and ongoing technical support once the system is live.

Selected work

A few projects that show the range — from agriculture to logistics to finance.

class: identification 2021 — present

Cattle identification with deep metric learning

Facial-recognition-style CNN and vision transformer models to identify individual cows from image alone — later extended into an auxiliary tool for RFID systems.

99%+ accuracy PyTorch · self-supervised
class: super-resolution 2022 — 2024

Hyperspectral image super-resolution

Operational Neural Networks and novel preprocessing to enhance the spatial resolution of hyperspectral imagery, outperforming standard CNN approaches.

Novel preprocessing PyTorch · ONNs
class: detection 2021 — 2025

LEGO detection & sorting system

Multi-view CNN and YOLO-based detection for automated LEGO identification and sorting, with state-of-the-art augmentation for domain adaptation.

class: forecasting 2021 — present

Reinforcement-learning trading agent

An Actor-Critic reinforcement learning agent that reads live market data and executes cryptocurrency trades in real time.

Dr. Alexander Ulrichsen
Dr. Alexander Ulrichsen
Founder, AU-AI LTD

I'm Alexander — an AI engineer with a PhD in deep learning for image processing from the University of Strathclyde, and over five years experience building computer vision & AI systems that ship.

I currently provide AI engineering services to businesses, mainly focusing on developing and deploying image-processing models, but also provide consultation services on other AI topics, including dataset quality and inference pipelines.

AU-AI LTD is where I take that experience and build for businesses directly — computer vision and AI systems scoped to your actual problem, from first data pull to a model running in production.
