Justus Omari
@justusomari
Mechanical technician and machine learning builder, turning real-time industrial data into actionable decisions and safer operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a mechanical engineer with hands-on industrial experience and a strong foundation in Machine Learning. I bring domain knowledge from the factory floor—preventive and corrective maintenance, equipment inspection, and root-cause troubleshooting—while also building end-to-end intelligent systems that collect real-time data, learn from it, and deliver actionable decisions through simple interfaces.
In my recent role, I maintained critical plant equipment (crushers, conveyors, pumps, motors, gearboxes) and reduced unplanned downtime through early fault identification, precision alignment, and safe maintenance practices. On the data side, I built and deployed projects like an Industrial HSE system (Kafka + ML pipeline + live Streamlit dashboard), an Industrial Quality Control system with a decision engine (Kafka + FastAPI + Streamlit), and a Machine Maintenance Decision system that recommends maintenance actions based on anomaly and failure-risk signals.
