Experience Matters

I’m an engineer working across physical AI, manufacturing systems, and quality engineering.

My background spans AI-enabled inspection, manufacturing analytics, failure analysis, and large-scale production environments. I’ve worked on systems involving robotics, automatic optical inspection, vibration and sensor data, predictive maintenance, and time-series-driven decision-making.

A recurring theme in my work is understanding how failures emerge—not only at the component level, but at the system, process, and organizational level—and how corrective actions succeed or fail depending on incentives, data quality, and system design.

This site is a personal archive of ideas and analysis on these topics.
