About

I am a Lead Software Engineer working on AI driven optimisation tools for aviation systems. I turn complex operational challenges into secure, scalable software that works in the real world. I like building innovative systems, from advanced solutions at ASML to AI-powered optimisation engines for logistics and planning, and finding practical ways to push the boundaries of what is possible. My experience covers fullstack development, planning systems and integrations, making sure new technology fits smoothly into existing, often critical, environments. Outside of work I love programming and experimenting with the latest technology. Currently, I am building my own AI projects at home, including a self-sailing boat, and exploring the limits of small-scale AI systems.
