Real-Time Optimization Projects 🌾

Implemented a real-time optimization and advanced control system on a 10,000-hectare farm cultivating soybeans and corn. This system dried over 400,000 sacks of corn in the 2024/2025 harvest. It aims to reduce overdrying, save firewood, and improve capacity while minimizing product giveaway, with estimated annual savings exceeding $50k. Currently, a similar system is being implemented in a biogas production plant.

Process Control Project Using Arduino (PCA) 📈

Developed an experimental educational module for PID control of temperature and flow using Arduino. The project includes a supervisory system for data collection and monitoring, developed using C# .NET Framework 4.8.

SQL Server Database Query Optimization 📊

Collaborated on a database indexing proposal for a real-time optimization system that logs thousands of variables per minute. The indexing did not affect data insertion and improved query performance by over 1000%, significantly reducing engineering support hours.

Vehicle Routing API Development (In Progress) 🚚

For my undergraduate thesis, I developed a generalized solver for vehicle routing problems (VRP) that dynamically handles various categories, such as TSP, CVRP, and VRPTW. The meta-heuristic solver adjusts to the problem scale to achieve minimal gaps in extremely short times.

Financial Management and Cash Flow System (In Progress) 💼

Migrating a legacy Visual Basic for Excel financial management system to a modern Blazor web environment, allowing access from anywhere. The system manages transactions, generates category-wise spending reports, schedules payments, sends reminders for accounts payable and receivable, and forecasts monthly cash flow.

Agricultural Planning Optimization Tool 🌱

Developing a risk management system in .NET Framework that implements an MILP-based model and error propagation to create an agricultural planting plan for soybeans or corn. This system aims to minimize crop failure risk and maximize expected profit by strategically distributing varieties over time and considering cost and yield variability of each plot.

Real-Time Monitoring Dashboard Development 📈

Developed integrated dashboards with the control supervisory system and laboratory variables, allowing real-time calculation and monitoring of KPIs. This project also verifies the compliance of the planting plan in real-time and predicts if the plan will be fulfilled on the current day, integrating OPC information and various databases.

Biogas Production Calculator 🌱

Developed a C# program that utilizes an updated database of specific production and monthly feed inputs to forecast the production of biogas, electricity, biomethane, SAF, methanol, hydrogen, NH3, and other products on a monthly basis, considering the seasonal availability of feedstocks, which may be limited to harvest periods, off-seasons, or available year-round. This tool provides easy, simplified equations to give an idea and estimates of potential production given feed availability.
