Building production systems where software meets operations.

Senior software engineer focused on production-grade backend systems, industrial analytics, and machine vision. Selected work spans enterprise software, manufacturing optimisation, and applied AI.

Enterprise software, computer vision, and manufacturing optimisation with a bias toward real-world deployment.

Current focus

Enterprise backend systems, industrial analytics, and machine vision with measurable production outcomes.

Public profile

A selective hub for work, research, and future writing without overexposing personal details.

Work shaped by production reality.

The public profile should stay close to the actual work: enterprise systems, industrial analytics, machine vision, and selective research output.

Enterprise Systems

Backend and operational software built for scale, reliability, and measurable impact.

Computer Vision

Applied OpenCV and vision systems delivered into manufacturing environments.

Optimisation

Data-driven sequencing, risk prediction, and decision support for production workflows.

Research

Ongoing academic work in manufacturing systems, optimisation, and industrial analytics.

Public Proof

Patents, publication links, and open-source references that can be verified publicly.

Leadership

Mentoring, interviews, and cross-functional delivery from prototype to production.

A senior engineer with depth across software, AI, and operations.

The differentiator is not one isolated skill. It is the ability to connect software engineering, analytics, and real operational constraints into systems that ship and hold up in production.

Enterprise Delivery

Built and productionalised systems in high-stakes manufacturing environments.

Applied AI

Used machine vision, predictive models, and analytics where outcomes matter operationally.

Technical Range

Grounded in backend engineering, research, and cross-functional execution.

The strongest differentiator here is not volume. It is the mix of enterprise delivery, industrial impact, machine vision, and public technical artifacts.

Computer vision / manufacturing

Conveyor Chain Health Monitoring

Designed and delivered a production computer vision system in Python and OpenCV to monitor conveyor chain health in automotive manufacturing. The system supported major cost avoidance, scaled into plant operations, and contributed to a granted US patent.

Deployed at scale

Industrial analytics / optimisation

Vehicle Sequencing and Risk Prediction

Built data-driven sequencing and risk-prediction algorithms to identify assembly-line stoppage risks before they materialised. At selected workstations the approach reduced stoppages by up to 80 percent.

Production impact

Open source / computer vision

Temperature Scanning Kiosk

Developed an OpenCV-based thermal screening application with masked face detection and tear-duct localisation during the COVID-19 period. The project was later open-sourced by General Motors.

Public repository

Private build / automation

LLM-Assisted Trading Analysis Bot

Built a Python workflow that combines live market data with LLM-assisted pattern analysis for trade signal generation. The repository remains private, but it reflects ongoing work in automation and applied AI.

Active exploration

Build for production

Interesting prototypes matter less than systems that survive real operational constraints, integrate cleanly, and deliver measurable outcomes.

Follow the signal

The strongest work is data-informed, technically rigorous, and tied to a clear business or operational impact.

Keep scope disciplined

The strongest profile is curated. High-signal work matters more than publishing every detail.

Leave space for what grows next.

Your background supports several credible directions beyond a static CV site: applied AI systems, technical writing, and software tools. Keeping those under one parent brand is the right move until one clearly earns standalone attention.

Applied AI Systems

Strong fit

Practical machine learning and computer vision systems shaped by industrial constraints, measurable outcomes, and production reliability.

Research and Writing

Ready to grow

Publications, technical essays, and notes on manufacturing systems, optimisation, and software engineering decisions.

Tools and Experiments

Selective

Automation tools, data products, and smaller prototypes explored with a product mindset.
