About Me

Cyber-Physical Systems Architect working in Applied AI

Hi, I'm Tom. I run two computer technology companies in Bangkok, TOMERA and PT X.

Most of what I build is a cyber-physical system (CPS): a product where hardware, firmware and software have to work together. I work on all of it, from the circuit board up to the app that runs on top.

I also have a military background. I've completed several training courses in the Artillery Corps of the Royal Thai Army.

What I work on

  • Hardware schematic design

  • Embedded firmware for microcontrollers (ESP32, ATmega, ARM Cortex) and single-board computers (Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson)

  • EEG (brainwave) signal acquisition and processing with the Texas Instruments ADS1299 biopotential front end

  • Robotics and IoT integration

  • Full-stack application architecture

  • Applied AI

How I work

I design my engineering workflow around AI, so an idea can become a working prototype fast. AI drafts a lot of the code. I review it, and I make the architecture decisions myself.

The projects I like most start with a hard problem from another field, such as defence, healthcare or education, and end with AI or hardware that people actually use.

Awards

First place at the Demo Day of the AI, Robotics and IoT Corporate Coaching Program in December 2024, organised by Thailand's National Innovation Agency (NIA) with CCC Academy. I was on the Fit Check team: I built the first version of the team's AI system, and at the final presentation I answered the judges' questions. Fit Check is an AI fitness system. It suggests the right exercise form to help prevent injury, and matches users with a trainer who fits their goals.

Talks

Work Smart with AI, a talk at AI For Work, a training session for personnel of the Territorial Defence Command in August 2026. I was invited to speak as an Army Reserve specialist. The session covered using AI for everyday work, such as research, data analysis, drafting documents and summarising, and how to do it without leaking sensitive data.
