Expertise: AI for regulatory compliance — IMO/EU maritime, RAG pipelines, document intelligence, ISM/SMS analysis

Areas of expertise

Regulatory AI engineering

• Designing LLM pipelines that ingest international standards (IMO conventions, ICAO SARPs) and predict downstream EU regulatory response.

• - RAG architectures combining FAISS dense retrieval with BM25 lexical search over multi-jurisdiction legal corpora.

• - Structured extraction from legislative text using Pydantic schemas, multi-step validation and confidence scoring.

• - Multi-model orchestration (Sonnet for classification/mapping, Opus for reasoning/recommendation) on Amazon Bedrock.

Maritime regulatory domain

• IMO conventions: SOLAS (all chapters incl. II-1, II-2, V, IX/ISM, XI-2 ISPS, XIV Polar), MARPOL Annexes I–VI, STCW, MLC 2006, BWM, COLREG, Hong Kong, AFS, Load Lines.

• - EU instruments: Directives 2002/59, 2005/35, 2009/13, 2009/16 (PSC), 2009/21 (Flag State), 2009/45, 2014/90, 2016/802, 2019/883, 2022/993; Regulations 336/2006 (ISM), 391/2009 (RO), 725/2004 (ISPS), 2015/757 (MRV), 2023/1805 (FuelEU Maritime), 2023/959 (EU ETS).

• - ISM Code: full mastery of all 13 functional elements, DOC vs SMC certification, internal audit and corrective action workflows.

• - Safety Management System (SMS) drafting, Safety Management Manual (SMM) parsing, drill and procedure mapping.

• - Port State Control inspection regimes, classification society interfaces, flag state compliance.

National transposition analysis

• Spanish maritime law (Real Decretos and Leyes transposing EU Directives, BOE).

• - Portuguese maritime law (Decretos-Lei via Diário da República).

• - Irish maritime law (Statutory Instruments via Irish Statute Book).

• - Concordance table construction at article level between EU Directives and national acts.

Document intelligence

• 600+ regex pattern libraries for parsing Safety Management Manuals.

• - Semantic diff and amendment-format handling (EU

• - Coverage analysis: comparing predicted recommendations against published EU legislative proposals.

• - Forward (IMO→EU) and reverse (EU proposal→pipeline) validation reports.

What I can offer

Consulting, prototyping and joint development for organisations that need to predict regulatory change, automate compliance gap detection or build domain-specific AI pipelines on top of legal and technical corpora — in maritime, aviation or any other regulated industry with an international→regional rule-making lifecycle.
