I am a data architect and system designer with more than a decade of practical experience developing and deploying medical data collection systems across the full lifecycle, from prototyping and validation to production‑grade implementation in regulated healthcare environments. As a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Turku, Finland, I focus on scalable architectures and efficient solutions for IoT‑enabled health monitoring platforms.

As a Researcher

My research focuses on leveraging IoT technology for comprehensive remote patient monitoring and diagnosis in the home setting. I have been actively involved in several scientific projects exploring this field. The most notable ones include:

NewLife / RM4Health / Moore4Medical / APPLAUSE / SAFE / IoCT-CARE / SPA

Through these projects, I've not only made significant technical contributions but also achieved impressive scientific results:
