AI Engineer for Casting & Manufacturing Simulation
Foundry engineer, working in casting since 2006. I learned modern AI to use it together with that experience, and I develop software tools for foundries and metallurgy.
A casting solidification simulator that runs in the browser, from STEP upload to a feeding decision, with a Julia and CUDA solver behind it.
1.6M elements in 9.9 s on a GPU, within 3.7% of a commercial reference

A graph neural network that predicts where a casting solidifies last, in seconds instead of hours. Weights published on Hugging Face under Apache-2.0.
Open weights on Hugging Face, hot-spot overlap 0.917

Production management for iron and steel foundries. Workers report by voice or photo, and a person confirms every AI proposal.

Releasing the solidification surrogate was not a matter of uploading a checkpoint. Checking that the published files reproduce the internal ones, and reporting the results honestly, took longer than the upload.
A staircase boundary misstates the cooling rate where feeding decisions are made. What my own voxel prototype measured, and why a tetrahedral mesh suits a neural network.
How I checked the FoundryFlash solver, and how the largest error turned out to be in the sand data.
