As a Senior Specialist in Automated Product Inspection at AINIA, I lead and contribute to the development of advanced systems that enhance food quality and safety. My role spans the full lifecycle of multidisciplinary R&D projects, from conception and planning to execution and closure. I have successfully managed both individual and consortium-based projects at regional, national, and European levels, funded by both public and private entities.I specialise in the development of inspection systems, mainly leveraging biosensors and hyperspectral imaging technologies, addressing critical quality parameters such as nutrient composition and contamination detection. My experience includes working with tools like Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Azure DevOps, Microsoft 365, and Matlab to optimise project outcomes.A key highlight of my career has been my ability to adapt and perform across various project sizes and scopes, particularly in complex, multidisciplinary environments. I have led significant projects such as the EC-funded BIOLISME under FP7 and the IVACE-FEDER-funded SAFEFOOD project, demonstrating my capacity to deliver impactful results.In addition to my technical expertise, I have cultivated strong project management and client relations skills, ensuring that each project not only meets technical specifications but also delivers on time and within budget. My work is increasingly informed by agile methodologies, driving continuous improvement and innovation in our inspection systems.
