Engineering for environments where reliability and impact both matter.

I am a senior software engineer with more than eight years of experience delivering enterprise systems across backend engineering, industrial analytics, and machine vision.

Background

My core work has centered on production software for manufacturing environments, where the standard is not just technical correctness but operational reliability. That has meant moving systems from early prototype to real deployment, working across engineering, plant operations, and leadership teams.

I work primarily with Python and Java, with a strong interest in data-driven system design, optimisation, and computer vision. A significant part of my recent work has focused on manufacturing intelligence: detecting line risks early, improving decision-making with analytics, and building solutions that hold up in production.

Alongside industry work, I have continued to build academic depth through advanced study in artificial intelligence, security, and mechanical engineering. Patents, publications, and selected projects reflect that overlap between research and production engineering.

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.
