About Me
I am an AI Solutions Architect and researcher with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, specializing in deep learning, graph neural networks, and large language models (LLMs). My work bridges the gap between theory and practice—turning complex research into impactful technologies. I have applied AI across diverse domains, from fault diagnosis in rotary machinery and earthquake prediction to maritime fuel optimization, smart livestock farming, and conversational AI with LLMs. With multiple publications in leading journals and hands-on industrial experience, I am passionate about building AI-driven solutions that address real-world challenges.
My Journey
My path started in Electrical Engineering, but things really clicked for me during my master's. That’s when I got my hands dirty. For my thesis, I decided to tackle fault diagnosis in rotary machinery by combining AI and IoT. I didn't just stay in the world of theory; I built a wireless data acquisition system from scratch with Arduino and spent countless hours in the lab, deliberately creating faults in machines just to see if my AI models could catch them.
That hands-on experience got me hooked. I knew I wanted to go deeper, so for my Ph.D., I continued my focus on rotary machinery diagnostics. I explored advanced deep learning and graph neural networks to solve tricky problems like dealing with noisy or incomplete data. It was challenging, but incredibly rewarding, and I was proud to see my work published in several top academic journals.
During my Ph.D., I also had the chance to collaborate on a purely academic project that I'm particularly passionate about: using deep learning for earthquake prediction. Working alongside my supervisor at another university, we explored how these complex models could tackle such an unpredictable natural phenomenon. This research was a fantastic opportunity to stretch my skills in a new direction, and our collaboration resulted in several publications, reinforcing my love for tackling diverse scientific challenges.
I’ve carried that same passion for practical results into my professional career. I've been fortunate to work on some fascinating projects across different fields. In smart agriculture, I helped design and lead a complete AI and IoT system that does more than just predict calving—it's a full-fledged platform for monitoring herd health and spotting early signs of illness or distress. After that, I moved into the maritime sector, where I took on a full-scale industrial challenge: building industrial-grade models to optimize ship routing and speed. This meant accounting for all the complex, real-world variables—from weather patterns to vessel specifics—to create a solution with a tangible impact on global logistics. And more recently, I've been working with Large Language Models, creating smarter, more natural conversational AI to improve how we interact with technology.
I'm always looking for the next interesting problem to solve. What excites me most is working with creative teams to build things that matter. If you're passionate about technology and solving tough challenges, I'd love to connect.
