🧠 Professional Summary
I am a Senior R&D Specialist in Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems, focused on transforming advanced research into scalable, real‑world technologies across fintech, autonomous systems, and secure embedded platforms. My work sits at the intersection of AI innovation, operating systems, and mission‑critical infrastructure.
At TOSAN Techno, I lead R&D initiatives for operating systems and software platforms powering next‑generation payment terminals and ATM ecosystems — spanning AI integration (CV, LLMs/VLMs), Security Platform (SP) architecture, OS validation, certification, and end‑to‑end system security.
Previously, I developed embedded AI and autonomous control systems at SoftwareMotion (China), collaborated on automotive safety ECUs at Mammut Group, and contributed to multiple RoboCup world championships with MRL Humanoid. I also engaged in advanced computational neuroscience research at Neuromatch Academy, building Bayesian models of decision‑making.
