Ă€ propos de Dimitri
🏠With over 25 years of experience in Industrial IT, I help manufacturing companies modernize their production systems and accelerate their transition toward Smart Factory and Industry 4.0 environments. My expertise spans MES, SCADA, IIoT, and Cloud-Native technologies—bridging IT and OT to enhance efficiency, visibility, and reliability across operations.
đź’ˇAs a freelance consultant and solution architect, I design and implement secure, scalable, and future-ready digitalization architectures. I combine deep shop-floor knowledge with strong experience in Kubernetes, automation, and DevOps to connect industrial systems with the cloud.
🚀 Passionate about innovation, I also explore the potential of Artificial Intelligence—from computer vision for production monitoring to Generative AI and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions for industrial knowledge management and decision support. My goal is to help manufacturers leverage AI to create truly intelligent and data-driven factories.
