Expertise

Six Disciplines. One Connected Ecosystem.

My work brings together embedded systems, IoT, networking, cloud infrastructure, software engineering, and AI. From embedded Linux gateways communicating over industrial protocols to secure cloud-connected platforms delivering intelligent analytics, I engineer solutions that seamlessly integrate every layer of the technology stack.

IoT & Embedded Systems

Connected devices from microcontroller firmware to embedded Linux gateways, and the protocols that link them to the cloud.

Building Automation

Gateway software that collects data from building automation systems and delivers it securely to cloud analytics.

Networking

Thirteen years designing and running enterprise, multi-site and hospitality networks, from fibre to firewalls to voice.

Cloud & DevOps

Running services on infrastructure I control: Linux servers, containers and automated delivery pipelines.

Software Engineering

Backend services, APIs and distributed systems, with a strong preference for Python and well-documented code.

Artificial Intelligence

Bringing intelligence to connected systems: on-device inference, anomaly detection and voice-driven interaction.

Background

From telecom networks to intelligent buildings

I’m an IoT and building automation engineer. I build the software that connects field devices, networks and cloud platforms, from gateway drivers that speak BACnet and Modbus to the pipelines that carry their data securely to the cloud.

My path runs through thirteen years of network and communications engineering, a Ph.D. in IoT, and hands-on work on smart-building gateways. That mix means I’m comfortable across firmware, embedded Linux, networking, cloud integration and data visualisation, and I like problems that cross those boundaries.
