Industrial technology, Data Science and Technical Writer solutions are strong skills I can bring to many types of clients from agriculture, manufacturing, production, IT/OT systems, cloud/edge systems, commercial building management, home-focused systems and more.

Data science, machine learning, neural networks, industrial PLC software, advanced SCADA systems - all passions that I bring together as Data Science and Industry 4.0 solutions

With a deep understanding in technical matters and strong communication skills to present complex topics in simple understandable ways, I also do a number of technical documentation projects and academic tutorial course materials.

Ongoing projects include producing all the technical documentation for an AI company in the US. Recently integrated a chatbot using the OpenAI LLM API (ChatGPT parent company) and Slack API to improve the experience when searching for specific topics and answers.

Other ongoing projects include AI related projects in the agricultural and industrial sectors on predictions, forecasts and computer vision. I have also been creating AI related Q&A test sets for a large online academy.

In 2021 I finished two specialization courses to certify my understanding and years of practical experience in the data science field with IBM Coursera - IBM advanced Data Science Specialization and IBM Machine Learning Professional Certificate.

I have 30 years of experience working extensively in industrial control systems and UI interfaces, PLC & SCADA with equipment such as Siemens, Rockwell, Allen Bradley, ABB, Wonderware Intouch, etc., in the traditional manufacturing, food&beverage, wood-based industry, renewable energy, and power plants.

I have worked for the last 8 years in data science technologies for Industrial 4.0 solutions and Machine Learning / AI.

Predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, computer vision, problem classification, performance metrics, industrial gateways, cloud-based dashboards and industry 3.0 to industry 4.0 transitions have been my main projects and accomplishments. Some of my clients have included international companies such as Festo, Mettler Toledo, Ansell, Six Red Marbles, and Kronospan.

I always enjoy pushing technology barriers and find passion working with AI in Machine Learning, Data Science, Computer Vision, and Predictive Analytics such as anomaly detection and predictive maintenance.

Always learning, continually improving, and striving to deliver the right solutions for clients. That means being a good listener and understanding what the client wants and how they want it delivered.
