AI Engineer • Cybersecurity • Computer Vision • Automation • Marine Systems
I’m a multi‑disciplinary engineer blending AI, machine learning, cybersecurity, automation, and real‑world marine fabrication. I build intelligent systems, computer vision models, reinforcement learning experiments, cybersecurity agents, automated e‑commerce engines, and full web applications. My background spans 20+ years of welding, pipefitting, industrial systems, IT security, and technical troubleshooting — giving me a unique hybrid skillset between physical engineering and advanced AI development.
