Software consulting and development for teams that need deep technical judgment. Architecture, implementation, and delivery across scientific instrumentation, AI, robotics, and distributed systems — with twenty-five years of production work behind every engagement.
RAG systems, on-prem and cloud LLM deployments, model fine-tuning, classical ML pipelines, and production AI infrastructure.
ROS2, sensor fusion, path planning, controls, and full-stack autonomy for ground vehicles and industrial automation.
Cloud-native microservices, Kubernetes, messaging architectures, and secure CI/CD — including classified and air-gapped environments.
Production web applications, real-time operator interfaces, 3D visualization, and embedded systems integration.
Architecture review, engineering standards, team mentorship, and hands-on technical direction for software organizations.
Original software products, technical content, and digital media — developed and exported from Puerto Rico.
Hands-on production experience with laser beam profiling software — spatial intensity mapping, centroid analysis, curve fitting, Fourier transforms, and statistical processing against live camera data. Comfortable collaborating with optical physicists to translate novel algorithms into shipped product.
DirectX, OpenGL, and CUDA experience rendering live, high-resolution sensor data under tight throughput constraints. Includes optical lens mathematics, point cloud rendering, and bridging raw hardware output to interactive operator displays that scientists and engineers actually trust.
Direct interfacing with camera sensors, motorized lens assemblies, focal length controllers, and power management hardware. Bridging the gap between physical instruments and the software that drives them — with the discipline of TDD and spec-driven development.
Applied mathematics for scientific and industrial software: FFT-based analysis, Kalman and particle filters for sensor fusion, PID control, curve fitting, and statistical signal processing — implemented cleanly in C++, C#, and Python against real-world data.
