01 / Profile

Automation from
idea to operation

DZ automation logo

My background combines robotics, industrial automation and computer vision.

My current work focuses on computer vision and vehicle quality inspection, combining machine learning, edge devices and industrial integration. Earlier roles in RPA, industrial networks and SCADA broadened my experience in developing, configuring and maintaining automation systems.

I enjoy designing technology that makes systems faster, more reliable and more precise. I am particularly interested in practical solutions that improve day-to-day operation and in exploring how automation can contribute to a positive environmental impact.
