About Me

With over 18 years of experience in software and hardware engineering, I've had the privilege of building cutting-edge solutions across industries as diverse as defence, pharmaceuticals, and food robotics. My work has always centered on solving real-world problems with elegant, efficient technology — whether that's designing mission-critical systems or deploying intelligent machines in complex environments.

I've developed patented technologies for IoT sensor networks and AI-enabled camera systems, pushing the boundaries of what's possible at the edge. From embedded firmware to scalable cloud infrastructure, I enjoy bridging the gap between silicon and software to deliver end-to-end, production-grade systems.

One of my most rewarding achievements was designing a custom robotics operating system tailored for high-precision automation. It's this hands-on experience — paired with a deep understanding of both theory and implementation — that drives my consulting and development work today.

I'm also an active open source contributor, and a frequent keynote speaker at tech conferences, where I share insights on emerging technologies in IoT and edge AI. Through my company, Obsidian Reach, I help businesses harness these technologies to build smarter, more resilient systems that deliver real impact.
