years of industrial and IT experience
With over 33 years of experience across the building industry, industrial factories, and the AI sector, I’ve built a strong foundation in both operational and digital domains.
A decade ago, I embraced AI technologies from IT systems, focusing on bridging the gap between IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) to unlock AI’s benefits for industry.
Since then, I’ve expanded into broader markets, delivering tailored AI solutions across diverse industries and clients.
Anomaly Detection
Built an anomaly detection system for wind farm turbine gearboxes using existing PLC data only, with inference and domain expertise critical to its success.

Marathon Runner Prediction Model
Richard is the best data scientist I have bump into. He truly goes above and beyond to make sure his client(s) are fully satisfied with his work. The price he charges is worth the quality of work that he produces. I would HIGHLY recommend Richard to anyone who is looking for a thoroughly completed project along with an opportunity to learn a lot !

Industrial Pumps Anomaly Detection
Richard is a total pro! His communication is top notch and he really goes above and beyond to exceed all expectations. We hired him just for ML modeling and he decided a dashboard would be the best way to showcase the results and mocked one up on his own time. And he was totally right, it was way better! Highly recommend!

Computer Vision Visualisation
Richard wrote a visualisation tool to help our startup debugging. He writes incredibly clean code that my team found a joy to read. He quickly gains an understanding of the context the problem lies in, which he uses to find the smoothest way to solve a problem.
His software did everything precisely as it should, and was done well before the deadline fully debugged, commented, optimised, and ready to go. Richard is an excellent and professional communicator with impeccable english, can only recommend getting him for your project !
