About Dayyan James
AI innovator and experimental technologist bridging 20+ years of financial services expertise with cutting-edge artificial intelligence solutions.
AI Innovation & Vision
I'm passionate about pushing the boundaries of what's possible with artificial intelligence. My work focuses on creating practical, real-world AI solutions that solve complex problems in finance, compliance, and human-computer interaction.
Currently, I'm experimenting with multimodal AI systems, speech recognition pipelines, and voice processing technologies. My projects on HuggingFace and YouTube demonstrate cutting-edge approaches to ASR, grammar correction, voice isolation, and real-time inference optimization. Each experiment is designed to explore new possibilities and share discoveries with the broader AI community.
What sets my approach apart is the combination of deep financial services expertise with hands-on AI experimentation. Having spent two decades building complex systems for institutions like SimCorp, Prudential, Barclays, and Schroders, I understand both the technical challenges and business realities of implementing AI at scale.
