APRICOT
An AIOTEC-branded firewall and secure-edge prototype built around OPNsense and Proxmox on commodity x86 hardware, exploring segmentation, policy enforcement, VPN, IDS/IPS and appliance-oriented deployment.
26+ years of enterprise technology experience — now applied to infrastructure architecture, cybersecurity, edge computing, IT/OT integration and working R&D prototypes.
AIO TEC R&D turns enterprise experience into working prototypes — combining open platforms, edge computing, cybersecurity, telemetry and systems integration to test ideas before they become products.
An AIOTEC-branded firewall and secure-edge prototype built around OPNsense and Proxmox on commodity x86 hardware, exploring segmentation, policy enforcement, VPN, IDS/IPS and appliance-oriented deployment.
A hardware-agnostic energy-intelligence R&D platform designed to turn meter telemetry into useful answers: Why is my bill too high? What changed today? What is running after hours? Which phase is carrying the most load? GridView uses Debian, Docker, MQTT, Telegraf, InfluxDB, Python and Flask; the software prototype is operational while physical RS485/Modbus and Ethernet-meter integration remains the next hardware stage.
A foundation of 26+ years across MIS, enterprise infrastructure, cybersecurity, networking and systems management — now expanding into systems integration, edge computing and IT/OT prototyping.
The approach remains practical: understand the operational problem, design resilient infrastructure, integrate the right technologies, measure the result and continuously improve it. Corporate experience remains the foundation; R&D is where that experience is being pushed next.

Professional experience across leading organizations and multinational environments.
Technology changes. Engineering principles endure: understand the system, secure the foundation, measure what matters and improve relentlessly.
Build it. Integrate it. Test it. Break assumptions. Measure the result. Then make it better — while sharing knowledge and keeping the business objective in view.
Whether it’s infrastructure, cybersecurity, automation, or a custom solution — feel free to reach out. I’m always open to meaningful discussions, pilots and new opportunities.
