# an evaluation starts with evidence
task → reference → verifier
✓ expected behavior defined
✓ failure conditions explicit
✓ results reproducible
AI evaluation / Professional experience

Testing what AI can actually do.

Reproducible environments and evidence-based verification for software and enterprise workflow evaluation.

Explore the approach
  • Work through Handshake includes terminal and software-engineering benchmarks.
  • Tools include Linux, Docker, Python, pytest, QEMU, and GitHub Actions.
  • Evaluation methods include reference implementations, held-out tests, and explicit acceptance criteria.

This is a high-level methods summary. No proprietary tasks, datasets, or benchmark results are shared.

SYNTHETIC INDUSTRIAL DEMONSTRATIONS

From signal patterns to better questions.

Two scripted examples show how industrial evidence can be presented and compared. Fictional data; no live model, retrieval, or plant connection.

SCENARIO 01 / MOTOR-OVERLOAD TRIP

P-204: a developing mechanical problem?

Inspect rising temperature, vibration, and current. Separate the trip event from an unconfirmed root-cause hypothesis.

SCENARIO 02 / SUCTION RESTRICTION

P-206: a different signal pattern.

Compare pressure changes and stable bearing temperature, then examine what the evidence can—and cannot—establish.

Includes separately scaled charts, downloadable sample data, and provenance and review notes.

02 / THE THROUGH LINE

Engineering judgment.
Applied to AI.

My work began with industrial automation and control systems. Today, I bring that same attention to reliability, failure modes, and real operating conditions to AI and machine learning.

I’ve worked across manufacturing, industrial analytics, research, and AI evaluation. I’m especially interested in the space where software meets sensors, equipment, and the people making operational decisions.

My work in AI for predictive maintenance began in 2007, applying neural networks to fault detection on industrial process data — at a time when almost no one around me believed it was possible. My graduate research on the idea was dismissed without real review. I carried it forward anyway: a decade later, the same concept, rebuilt with modern machine learning, became my published IEEE and Springer research. That arc — from dismissed idea to proven science — is the through line of my career.

I build AI that runs where the work happens: on local devices and plant infrastructure, not in someone else’s cloud. Security isn’t a feature of my systems; it’s the starting requirement.
