What I'm looking for

I seek roles building standards-compliant Industry 4.0 systems where I can architect edge-to-cloud digital twins, work with cross-functional teams, and scale production visibility through open, reproducible deployments.

I am an Industrial IoT engineer with 3+ years designing full-stack Digital-Twin and Asset Administration Shell solutions for manufacturing. I focus on scalable, standards-compliant Industry 4.0 systems that improve production visibility and KPI responsiveness.

At Fraunhofer IGCV I developed a containerised data-twin pipeline (Eclipse BaSyx, Python microservices, Node-RED, InfluxDB) achieving latency under 250 ms for multi-protocol shop-floor streams and built a one-command CI deployment to accelerate researcher adoption.

At ZeMA I implemented an Odoo 16 product cost calculator and a drag-and-drop process planner, reducing quotation time by ~30% and creating a zero-touch AAS creation service for ERP integration. I have authored IDTA-compliant AAS submodels for 30+ machine signals and integrated ERP and Tecnomatix for real-time analyses.

I am passionate about open-source, having founded the OneFarmer SmartHydroponics platform and contributed to multiple IoT and robotics projects. I bring strong hands-on skills across Node-RED, Python, FastAPI, Eclipse BaSyx, MQTT, Docker, and time-series systems to deliver practical Industry 4.0 solutions.
