My engineering career was built from examining to safeguard the mechanical integrity of upstream production equipment — risks are quite high as a missed defect can translate to real consequences. Experience with projects, processes and people provided a lens to see where technical operations lose time: and cost-effectiveness. From backlogs of overly verbose technical reports, to workflows with conflicting KPIs and data that never gets used to decisions stuck waiting on paperwork. Now I build the AI systems that close those gaps — automations, applications, and generative media — pairing domain expertise with tools that didn't exist when I started.
