About me

I'm a computational engineer. I work at the intersection of physics, engineering, and software, on problems that don't have an off-the-shelf answer: machine learning pipelines, robotics control systems, numerical simulations.

A lot of my work is machine learning applied to physical targets: detecting and tracking objects that are small, distant, or easily confused with something else, and building the models that separate the two reliably. The hard part is rarely getting a model to work. It is getting it to work on a particular edge case, the smallest object, the hardest frame, the one a weaker model misses.

Robotics is the second biggest part of what I do. I build the software that runs on the robot itself, not just around it. That means writing the perception, localization, and control code that lets a machine navigate somewhere hazardous, decide what it is looking at, and act on it, often on constrained edge hardware where every millisecond and every watt is a real limit.

I also build systems that are meant to run without me watching them. An autonomous pipeline is only useful if you can trust it to make the right call unsupervised, and that trust has to be earned through engineering. I care about the same thing when I write physics simulations: a finite element model is worth nothing if it does not display verifiable behavior.

Project history

Computational Engineer (Autonomous Systems)

AZ. I.M.C Ltd
Built a cold outreach system trusted to act on its own, unsupervised. Maintains high level of personalization while running completely autonomously.

Computational Engineer (Robotics)

Durance AI
Got a neuromorphic gesture-recognition board driving a third-party robot. Built the hardware to supply the external processing unit, set up the networking and communication between the robot and the processing unit, and wrote the ROS layer turning recognized gestures into robot actions. Control ran on a timing-based approach and lidar-based obstacle avoidance kept it from colliding.

Computational Engineer

PowerIn Space UG
Built a detector and tracker for an early-stage deep-tech company's target object, so they could rely on the system precisely where it is hardest to trust: spotting the smallest, most distant instances, the ones a weaker model misses first. The new model beat the published baseline there by 16%, and the classifier I added kept that performance while telling the target apart from three classes of lookalikes, plus motion prediction so the tracker keeps a live estimate running between observations.

Computational Engineer (Numerical Simulations)

Freelance
Finite element simulation of laser-induced thermal spallation in rock using FEniCSx and Gmsh. Models heat diffusion and resulting stress fields. Validated against analytical solutions.

Computational Engineer (Robotics)

KIOS Center of Excellence UCY
Enabled an autonomous ground robot (Segway Nova Carter) to navigate hazardous industrial sites, reach a target location, and act on what its cameras see, autonomously aiding operators in reconnaissance of hazardous environments. I fixed a hardware fault that had left the robot inoperable, then built the full autonomy stack on edge hardware (Jetson Orin AGX): perception, localization, path planning, and action, with a vision-language model reasoning at the top of the loop.

Research Assistant

Durham University (Prof. Stavros Zenios)
Modelled political risk as a regime-switching process. Built statistical jump models and graph auto-encoder approaches. XGBoost classifiers achieved out-of-sample recall 0.6-0.9 across regimes. Extended abstract accepted at LMDE 2025.

Research Assistant

Frederick University (Dr. Nina Gorovaia)
Applied LDA and BERTopic to approximately 600 ISoF conference papers (2003-2024). Led preprocessing, semantic cross-validation against expert review, and manuscript preparation. Best Student Paper Award, ISoF 2025.

Developer

Open Source (reidfo)
Created reidfo, an open-source Python library for time-series regime identification. Features include feature engineering, statistical diagnostics, copula fitting, and jump model utilities. Packaged with tests and documentation.
