My name is Sami. I like making machines do things.
I’m based in Dorset. pend my evenings on the beach, working on my personal projects, travelling and trying very badly to pick up kitesurfing and sailing.
After graduating with a masters in Robotics Engineering, I spent several years working in Agritech, bouncing between software, hardware and managerial roles. Eventually placing myself in the R&D projects as a principal robotics engineer and project manager.
More recently, I’ve moved a more classic automation field, as a technical project manager, working with highly technical and challenging robotics projects. Think
Project Management
Worked in a decent variety of companies, big and small. Hierarchal/Flat, Start-up/Corporate. Seen companies grow from 10 people in a shed to 100+ across 4 continents. Successfully delivered projects with budgets ranging from £10k to millions of pounds.
Robotics and Automation
Mobile Robots have been my bread and butter for the past few years, but recently been diving deeper into building fully automated cells and providing traditional automation solutions.
Computer vision and SLAM
Worked on a plethora of computer vision projects, mostly within robotics, doing real time vision processing and identification. Generally these systems would then feed into SLAM, using lidars, cameras, and other sensors to make autonomy happen
