AI-driven closed-loop optimization for plunger-lifted oil and gas wells. Traditional well controllers operate using fixed timers and manually configured setpoints. PlungerXcel transforms each production cycle into feedback for the next one.
The system has been tested across multiple real production wells and was designed to connect telemetry, machine intelligence and field control in one continuous optimization loop.

An AI-assisted monitoring and diagnostic system for industrial pumps and mixers. The system is designed to move beyond basic dashboards by connecting condition monitoring with fault interpretation and maintenance guidance.

A custom Long Short-Term Memory network implemented in pure Python for next-day stock-price prediction. Rather than relying entirely on high-level deep-learning abstractions, this project explores the internal mechanics of recurrent neural networks.

A version-controlled Linux development environment built for speed, consistency and experimentation. The repository contains personal system configurations used to reproduce and manage development environments across Linux systems.

[+] Questions assumptions before implementing
[+] Enjoys understanding systems below the abstraction layer
[+] Prefers working prototypes over endless presentations
[+] Treats deployment as part of engineering—not an afterthought
[+] May attempt to automate a task after performing it twice
[-] Can spend too long perfecting development environments
[-] Occasionally turns a small experiment into a complete platform
[-] Frequently opens one more terminal than strictly necessary
[-] Performance may correlate with available coffee
