Hello!

I am currently working as a Managing Consultant at Capgemini in Gothenburg, Sweden. I advise manufacturing companies on how to think about transforming their shop floor operations using AI.

My interest is in the intersection of manufacturing and AI. I enjoy building artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to tackle real-world problems in manufacturing. My long-term mission is to build AI technologies for routine diagnosis and prognosis of production systems dynamics to achieve higher shop floor productivity.

- Identify the right set of shop floor problems that need an AI solution

- Formulate a manufacturing problem as an AI problem

- Design an AI solution that creates an impact on shop floor practice

- Bridge the communication gap between AI scientists and manufacturing domain experts
