About

Safety-first mindset meets tech-savvy radical accountability

Most AI and Robotics projects don’t make it out of the "lab" because they don’t meet rigorous safety standards. I hold a safety passport with proven record of working with safety compliance of autonomous systems from heavy-machinery to service robots. Paired with my technical background, I pioneer a safety mindset early in the design process. E.g., it’s not about building a drone; its about building a deployable, compliant autonomous asset.

There is a gap between "Business", people who don’t understand tech, and "Engineers", who can’t speak ROI or milestones. This gap hinders the development of tools and systems for the benefit of society. I have proven record of acting as single point of faliue (or sucess). E.g., I can sit in a boardroom with VPs to discuss the economic tie-in, then walk into the lab and guide a dev team on SAR data processing.

Large organizations or even startups suffer from scope creep, technical-debt or access to correct resources. I offer extereme ownership to my customers by providing technical feasibility, measureable milestones and safety compliance, all-in-one package. For my clients, this eliminates the "Knowledge Handover" tax.
