About Me
I'm a data practitioner and consultant specializing in computer vision, remote sensing, and applied machine learning. My work focuses on turning complex business problems into practical data products and applications, with a particular emphasis on geospatial AI and interpretable vision models.
Currently, I lead Upskilled Consulting, where I work with clients on photogrammetry, 3D reconstruction, and ML/AI-driven solutions using technologies like 3D Gaussian Splatting and Meta's Segment Anything Model (SAM).
