I sit at the intersection of industrial engineering and data science - and that overlap is where the interesting problems live. For seven years I built and commissioned the systems that generate industrial data: private LTE/5G networks, automated LHD and manipulator control, low-latency Wi-Fi roaming (50ms handover), and IIoT telemetry across the Udachny and Komsomolsky mines. I know what the sensors mean, why the readings lie, and where the operational risk actually sits - context most analysts never get near. Now I'm turning that domain knowledge into decisions. Completing a Master of Data Science (ECU, 2026). The gap between OT and IT is where most industrial data projects quietly fail. I've worked both sides. That's what I bring.
