> Senior Software Engineer & AI Engineer

I have spent twenty years writing software for industrial machines: CNC controls, operator interfaces, CAD/CAM. For the last few years I have also been working with AI. I write C++, C# and Python, I am named on four patent filings (one granted), and I do not trust things that only work during the demo.

research & patents

paper [independent research]

The Illusion of Robustness

Detectors for AI-generated images are usually reported as a single aggregate accuracy. That number hides a bias: how the training set is balanced across the generators themselves.

paper [independent research]

StoryHash

Video retrieval has to survive cropping, compression and speed changes without losing semantic accuracy. StoryHash fuses visual, temporal and structural signals into a single compact vector.

patent: EP3907053B1 [SCM Group]

Method for optimising the movement of a machine for working panels

Two neural networks optimise a panel-working machine in real time: semi-supervised clustering builds a model of the machine from its sensor data, and deep reinforcement learning rewrites the movement instructions to spread wear and energy evenly across the working units. Co-inventor.

patent: EP4782739A1 [SCM Group]

Plant and method for machining a semiproduct

A machining plant for wood semi-products combining a safety apparatus with a computer-vision supervision system that detects dangerous operator actions the safety apparatus did not prevent.

Every August I photograph the Meeting in Rimini, and with BMB.photo I photograph weddings. When I shoot for myself I am mostly drawn to structures and the way light falls on them.
