Technical focus

AI, connected hardware, immersive technology, 3D design, and software development.

My technical focus spans artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), the Internet of Things (IoT), and AI-powered connected systems (AIoT). I work with augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), 3D modelling and printing, and microcontroller-based systems that integrate sensors, actuators, displays, and power components. Software development connects these areas, from web and mobile applications to the software that powers connected devices.
