Andy in a few words
I develop machine leaning and computer vision solutions using python and modern C++. I’m passionate about edge based data intensive applications that combine embedded systems and cloud computing to provide inference locally on edge devices.

I am experienced in developing embedded systems software and computer vision algorithms in C++ and developing machine learning models in python. I have a background is in scientific computation for particle physics (PhD) which provides expertise in linear algebra, multivariate calculus and numerical methods.

    I worked on a location based contextual platform building machine learning models that use mobile sensor data (GNSS/IMU) to detect behavioural patterns in users mobility. I constructed serverless injestion pipelines for data-monitoring, anomaly detection, and feature extraction (AWS Lambda, Batch and S3). I developed a system for Significant Location detection and productionized it as a batch service including ETL and data connectors as a RESTful service and visualization with Javascript.
