Summary

During my daily work activity I do Research , Prototype and Deployment of Smart AI enabled Technology Solutions. I also Advise and Mentor technology solutions to individuals and organizations (enterprises and institutions).

I prototyped and about to publish the 3rd scientific paper on self sensing carbon fiber composite materials for active structural monitoring , and for the past 4 months now, I've been prototyping smart DAQ devices to connect such materials to and edge server. The main objective, give life to a structure, by seamlessly integrating any structural element into a remote, live active (or passive) monitoring network with usage of artificial intelligence technologies all together.

RESTful API
implemented successfully a work methodology to all 70+ construction workers and move forward the enterprise by enabling delivery of work and communication in real-time at each construction site while managing all logistics aspects of construction works through a cloud logistics platform, also planned from the start by me, developed and coded. Currently consists of 2 android Apps, 1 windows desktop Apps in .NET Core. All connecting to a cloud server API and where data is stored and shared among devices encrypted using current encryption standards.

IoT on Edge Computing / Transfer Learning Since last June 2021, amid Covid-19, I’ve been designing a live data acquisition device (LDAD) for monitoring of sensor data. It uses an Arduino board coupled with a custom PCB board, and commercially available Arduino shields. (see my activity posts here on LinkedIn and also on Twitter @AeonLabsS) The first version of the LDAD is targeting monitoring of fresh concrete hardening by measuring its core temperature using a type K thermocouple, the environment temperature and relative humidity (SHT31 shield) allowing the calculation of concrete maturity at any given day. Collected data is stored locally on a SPI Flash memory chip (W25Q128) for later synchronization with the local network or connected device. The LDAD uses RFID NFC technology for fast identification and connection to nearby authorized devices, such as smartphones, tablets or any other that uses Bluetooth BLE or WiFi technologies. In parallel is also being developed custom software applications for handling and managing collected data from devices compatible with LDAD and in accordance to the latest guidelines on Open Data available at the European commission website and also following the latest guidelines available on open-source development and maintenance. See my activity posts here on LinkedIn and also on Twitter @AeonLabsS for a preview of what i am able to deliver in a more visual manner.
