Nixxie studio
The studio

Founded in London in 2004 and expanded to Dubai in 2021, Nixxie International is a senior AI engineering studio. We work with founders, operators and boards on the systems that will define the next decade of their business — building the infrastructure, the models, the products, and the culture to use them well.

Section 02 — Practice

An AI engineering practice with two homes and one standard.

We opened our first studio in London in 2004 — a small group of engineers building software for clients who needed it to actually work. Twenty-one years later we are forty-eight people across two studios, organised into three practices: AI & Intelligence, Product Engineering, and Strategy. Every engagement is led by a partner. Every line of code is written by a senior. We have never grown by promising what we could not personally deliver.

OFF THE RECORD
Undefeated on the golf course. Liverpool red through and through. Happy to let AI handle everything else — and partial to cats, but only the calm ones.

CEO
OFF THE RECORD
Watford FC loyalist and a systems engineer at heart. Does his best work at 35,000 feet — on the cloud, from the clouds. At least until turbulence files a bug report.
