About Me

A mind wired
differently.

I started as a mechanical engineer — designing, analysing, and solving problems in the physical world. But I've always been drawn to the edges of what I know, which meant I kept moving. Aerospace. Automobiles. Railways. Defense. Refrigeration research. Each industry a new context, a new set of constraints, a new way of seeing.

Along the way, I picked up a Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence — not because it was fashionable, but because I saw that the hardest problems I was encountering needed smarter tools. AI became another lens, not a destination.

Today I operate at the intersection of engineering, software, and strategy. I can read a structural drawing, write a .NET API, design a machine learning pipeline, and walk a boardroom through why it all matters. That combination is rare — and it's how I've been able to solve problems that stump people who only know one of those languages.

I have an almost obsessive attention to detail, a high tolerance for complexity, and a genuine addiction to learning. I don't know everything. But I will find the answer.

Academic Background
B.E.
Bachelor of Engineering — Mechanical The foundation. Manufacturing, materials, systems, thermodynamics. How I learned to see complexity as something to be understood, not avoided.
M.Sc.
Master of Science — Artificial Intelligence The multiplier. Machine learning, decision systems, neural architectures. Applied to real engineering problems, not academic toy datasets.

Mechanical Engineering + Artificial Intelligence. Two disciplines most people never combine.

Rule
Find the solution. There is always one. The question is whether you're willing to look hard enough.
Industries

Where I've
worked.

Real projects. Real stakes. Real constraints. Across industries that most engineers never touch in a single career.

01
Aerospace
Where precision isn't a preference — it's survival. Working in aerospace sharpens your tolerance for complexity and your intolerance for approximation. Every number means something.
Structural · Systems · Tolerance
02
Automobile
Product design and engineering in one of the world's most competitive manufacturing environments. Speed-to-market, safety, scale — and the constant pressure to do more with less.
Design · Analysis · Manufacturing
03
Construction & BIM
The built environment became my deepest focus. Information management, digital workflows, BIM implementation — how a billion-dollar industry moves from paper to data.
BIM · Information Management
04
Railways
Critical infrastructure where downtime is measured in lost millions and public trust. Taught me to design for failure modes, not just success cases.
Infrastructure · Reliability
05
Defense
The most demanding client specification in the world. Working in defense teaches you the real meaning of requirements: precise, complete, and non-negotiable.
Systems · Security · Precision
06
Research — Refrigeration
Deep technical research in thermal and refrigeration systems. An unusual background that sharpened my ability to model complex physical systems and think rigorously about energy.
Research · Thermal Systems
What I Do

Areas of
deep expertise.

01
Software Architecture & Development
I design systems before I write them. API-first, microservices, clean architecture patterns that scale. I work across the full stack — backend, frontend, mobile — but my strongest instinct is in how systems are structured, not just how they function.
.NET / C# Vue.js Svelte React Native MySQL REST API Docker Azure AWS
02
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
MSc in AI. I've applied machine learning to manufacturing, construction, and software problems — not as a buzzword, as a tool. Computer vision, NLP, decision systems. The goal is always practical: solve the problem, not impress the audience.
Machine Learning Computer Vision NLP Python Neural Networks Data Pipelines
03
BIM & Built Environment Technology
Revit API, Navisworks, IFC, BCF, COBie. I understand the construction industry from both sides — the engineering and the software. I know what BIM managers actually need because I've worked with them, not just for them.
Revit API Navisworks IFC 4.3 BCF 2.1 COBie ISO 19650
04
3D Design, Modelling & Game Development
Three-dimensional thinking isn't just a skill — it's a mode of seeing. Product design, 3D modelling, simulation, and game development all require the same core ability: holding complex spatial relationships in your head and manipulating them with purpose.

"I might not be the best engineer out there — but I'm a determined one who will find a solution to any complex problem you throw at me."

How I Think

Curiosity is
the method.

I've never stayed in one lane because I've never believed that one lane has all the answers. The most interesting solutions I've found came from applying something I learned in aerospace to a construction problem, or using a thermal engineering principle to structure a software architecture decision.

Cross-domain thinking is my edge. When you've worked in six industries, you stop seeing problems as belonging to a category and start seeing them as variations of patterns you've already solved somewhere else.

I'm equally comfortable at a whiteboard sketching system architecture, in a lab running simulations, or in a meeting room translating technical reality for non-technical stakeholders. That range isn't accidental — it's the result of never stopping being curious.
