About

I build intelligent systems that run locally, on the device — not as a replacement for the cloud, but as the right place for the work. Inference at the edge, coordination and heavy lifting upstream, and a considered line between the two.

My work sits at the intersection of edge AI, physical AI and robotics: making deep learning models actually run on power- and memory-constrained hardware. Optimisation, quantization, inference pipelines, and the unglamorous resource management that decides whether something stays a demo or becomes a product.

I work across edge boards and AI accelerators generally — the silicon changes, the problem doesn't. Fit the model to the compute budget, pick the precision you can live with, architect the pipeline so nothing sits idle. Currently that centres on NVIDIA's edge platforms, with simulation and ROS 2 for robotics.

The next interesting phase of AI is physical: systems that perceive, decide and act in the real world, under real latency and power budgets. That's what I want to keep working on.

$ nvidia --boards

NVIDIA boards I work on — from an 8 GB Orin Nano up to Thor. Same problem at both ends: get a model that wants a data-centre to run on something you can hold. Drag either board to look around it.

Jetson Orin Nano Super

The board almost everything here runs on. 8 GB is a hard ceiling, which is exactly what makes it interesting — you cannot solve anything by throwing memory at it.

The other end of the same line. Headroom to run the models I currently have to quantize, prune and thread around — and where the physical-AI work is heading.

Figures are NVIDIA's published headline numbers at different precisions, so they are not directly comparable — the rail shows the product line, not a benchmark.
