Worked on
Where my work began at scale: PVD and CVD metallization, selective conductive patterning and Laser Direct Structuring. Atoms leave a target in a plasma and land one nanometre at a time.
Worked on
LiDAR design optimization, optical sensing and photonic integration. Light routed through waveguides instead of electrons through copper.
Trained in
Metrology is where I trained: calibration, uncertainty budgets, validation. Quantum sensing is the next frontier of that discipline, and one I follow closely.
Building now
Agentic workflows and local LLMs, applied to engineering work: test automation, documentation and digital twins.
Delivered
New products taken from proof of concept to production, every subsystem validated before it ships.
It is why I am building a communication app for children with autism, and why UniPicto exists.
Photonic AI, quantum sensing and assistive robotics, engineered into systems people can depend on.
The convergence of photonic AI, brain-computer interfaces, quantum sensing and assistive robotics is not abstract to me. It is the architecture of a future where people thrive.
These frontiers are not separate races. Light does the computing, quantum does the sensing, machines do the reaching and people do the deciding. I work where they meet, because that is where the future stops being a forecast and starts being engineered.
To close the distance between breakthrough and reality. The physics behind photonic compute, quantum sensing and embodied AI belongs in systems people can depend on: modelled before it is built, validated until it holds.
16 products to production, 5 patents, a €1M test centre, €6M platform revenue.
16 global NPIs across 4 platforms in 3 business units at SABIC, 2015-2025: ADAS sensing, RF shielding and EV thermal management.

A picture communication app for children with autism, and two interactive science sites.
In development
An AI-assisted AAC app that helps children with autism say what they need with pictures.
AAC stands for augmentative and alternative communication: children who speak little or not at all point to pictures to express themselves. I am taking the app through the full product lifecycle.
It is part of UniPicto, my collection of personal projects.
