About↗
I research and educate about edge-intelligent systems at the intersection of automation, IoT, and machine learning. I combine research, past experience, and hands-on work to explain how these systems operate in real-world environments. My focus is on systems that actually run in practice — particularly where modern AI tooling must integrate with legacy infrastructure and platforms — and how memory, latency, reliability, deployment, and maintainability shape system design across industrial, automotive, and embedded contexts. I work with a learn-by-doing approach: breaking systems, rebuilding them, then reading deeply to explain why they behave the way they do. Outside software I'm a hands-on automotive mechanic and driving enthusiast (Nürburgring, Mondello Park, Spa-Francorchamps), and I mentor with CoderDojo and Junior Achievement Ireland.
