Experience
Application for PPE monitoring
Developed an application to detect workers in specific hazardous environments to monitor the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and a lifeline. The final solution ran with cameras at a construction site, with a laptop running the solution on-premises in a supervisor room and emitted alerts for detected security risks.
I acted in concert with technical leadership and management on this project, supporting the team with technical directions, delivery planning, impediment resolution, testing, documenting, and performance improvements.

Application for Document Extraction
Created an application aimed at extracting textual information from document images with a range of different techniques for CV and NLP to extract and analyze textual information, returning desired information from a multitude of documents for modular services to be deployed on cloud services. This required Docker and Kubernetes knowledge.
I acted as a developer on this project, directly contributing to the production models and codes for multiple document types. As a technical manager, I supported the team with technical directions, delivery planning, impediment resolution, testing, document, ending, and performance improvement.

Platform for PHR Accessibility and Management
Developed an application focused on patient empowerment to facilitate access to personal health records (PHR) by both patients and medical doctors or institutions.
I acted as the lead developer for the integration of medical images with the "Electronic Health Record (EHR)" platform using DICOM protocols and integration with medical image databases for authorized medical institutions. As one of the developers responsible for general platform improvements, such as information sharing rules in accordance with data protection laws and directions, data access, and management. I also confirmed the integration with the platform for medical consulting scheduling.
