The AI Revolution in Heavy Industry
While tech startups grab headlines, the real AI opportunity lies in transforming traditional industries. Heavy machinery, manufacturing, and transportation are ripe for intelligent optimization.
Coming soonSystems Architect & AI Specialist bridging the gap between heavy industry and intelligence.
I am working on decarbonizing the heavy-duty industry at Cummins Inc. and pursuing an MEng at Cornell University. I architect the intelligence layer where physics meets autonomous control.
Ever since I watched planes lift off and robots move with purpose, I knew I wanted to work on machines that think. Not just operate them, but make them adaptive, intelligent, aware of the humans they serve. That childhood wonder never faded—it evolved into a technical mission.
My goal is to build systems that make clean power and intelligent machines accessible to everyone. Systems that do not just work in labs but survive 500-ton mining trucks in the Australian outback. Systems that are reliable enough to bet lives on, autonomous enough to scale globally, and sophisticated enough to tackle challenges we have not yet imagined.
That's why I'm building toward founding a company to compress this vision into something that scales beyond me. An organization that keeps moving the world's energy and automation stack forward, even after I'm gone.
"I can't stand the idea of dying having only optimized someone else's system."
Every design is a balance. Performance vs cost. Complexity vs maintainability. Understanding the entire system to make conscious choices.
Technical excellence must translate to business value. If you can't measure it, you can't improve it. $30M+ in savings proves this works.
From SCDF ambulance tracking to Cummins DtV platform—build, measure, learn, scale. Speed matters, but so does getting it right.
