• As the Chief Technology Officer at Eugenie.ai, I primarily lead a 20 person engineering team responsible for pioneering the roadmap, architecture, design and development of an AI-based SaaS solution to address industrial process optimization/efficiency in conjunction with reduction of carbon and other types emissions. I am also responsible for DevOps/SaaS production delivery, supporting Sales and GTM with regards to all investor pitches and customer facing engagements, and am the face of Eugenie for a number of industry conferences on the topic of emissions reduction including G20 climate action sessions.
• The AI-based SaaS offer is a complex API-first platform that converges terrestrial industrial sensors via IoT along with satellite based emissions data to support a range of custom developed AI/ML models/algorithms that serve to improve the reliability and throughput of an industrial process line e.g. the sintering process in steel, the process of ore extraction in mining. Furthermore, using our custom AI/ML-based recommendation models, we help industries reduce their emissions footprint (e.g. SPM, CO2, CH4) while keeping their throughput relatively constant.
• Technologies leveraged include Azure, Docker, Kafka, Python, TensorFlow/Keras, OpenAPI, Elastic, Terraform
• Eugenie.ai has received numerous recognitions:
