Predictive Maintenance

-

Predictive Maintenance  Okay so I have written about predictive maintenance quite a lot actually - both in water and quite a lot in renewable energy especially before joining kraken. The way it all happened was like some kind of a miracle beyond my wildest imaginings tbh - one minute I was researching AI in renewable energy and knowing it was my life purpose. Three months later I was hired to an AI project and then got put in an AI team. It still blows my mind really - honestly. This is such a beautiful example of how the universe works. If you do something out of love but like really really out of love then everything will work out for you. You will not be able to believe the miracles in your life. I never planned to work in AI. But it seems that AI wanted me there. More importantly I think that utilities and water and renewable energy really wanted me there. This is what I argued every week during my meetings. Because when I turned 30 I felt that the pylons were happy. That they ...

Perhaps Love

-
Image
Perhaps Love One of my best childhood memories is Perhaps Love by John Denver and Placido Domingo. My mum playing it on the guitar, all of us singing it together, playing it on the CD player. Maybe it was even vinyl at first. I don’t know many other artists who get God like John Denver does.  If you want to find God all you have to do is listen to John Denver. I have been ill with the flu all day. I have been asleep all day. Being ill makes me really sad. It gets me really down. I missed out on so many things today. A team lunch with the new joiners, seeing my old boss back from paternity leave. Dinner after work with a friend in London. I also got assigned loads of work and suddenly feel overwhelmed. I find it hard in my job how work doesn’t come for ages and then suddenly it comes all at once. But it’s because teammates need to know when a project is free so they can allocate the right work to the right people at the right time. I want to do some more research on water tech - lik...

The Angels Up In The Clouds Are Jealous Of How Much I Love Coding

The Angels Up In The Clouds Are Jealous Of How Much I Love Coding Yep. I finally felt it again today. I sat down to work on some real AI code. I’ve been building a dashboard for some AI experiments but putting my hands back into the code for our tests for an AI model. I finally felt it again. I felt home. I am back home where I belong. The wind farms spoke to me again on the way home too. It’s been months since I felt them like I did today. What did I do? I danced for 3 hours yesterday. I let myself wane. Like the moon. Over the last few months. I let myself crash. I let my enthusiasm crash like the waves on the rocks. Like the waves on the shore.  Knowing it would come back again one day. I let myself work fast. I let myself work slow. Knowing it would balance out. I let myself write my tech talk in working hours so I wouldn’t exhaust myself even further. I let myself rest on weekends. I opened my laptop on the weekend and realised Monday would be unbearable if I did that again...

When I Get Sad I Stop Being Sad And Then I Look At The Offshore Wind Farms

When I Get Sad I Stop Being Sad And Then I Look At The Offshore Wind Farms You guys. I can’t give up. I can’t give up. I’m sorry. I have such a rich and full and beautiful life. I danced for two hours this morning under the shadows of seagulls and under the beautiful sunlit golden sky. I messaged my beautiful family. I ate a vegan roast for lunch. I bought a new book on climbing. I am reading a dance book as well. I am feeling reading again. What a miracle. How beautiful and perfect wow. And I love the water tech. I want to take that with me on my journey as well. I bought a beautiful new sketchbook yesterday in Brighton to plan it in. I have so many things to do. Two full albums to dance to today. Put the laundry on.  Read my 3 news books. Maybe cook or maybe not. Make a juice. Plan my week. Read my cards. But I want to fully organise the research as well. But how will I have time to do it? The night is young. I have to meditate and shower as well…

Maybe I DO Know Where To Go From Here

Maybe I DO Know Where To Go From Here This is my 700th blog post. And look. I don’t really know where to go from here. I know I want to dance. I want to open my heart up to other people like I failed to do for so long. I want to open my heart up to people and opportunities as for a while I had to shut people out but now I have the emotional capacity and the time to be around people again So look. I want to dance. I have to dance. It’s not a choice for me not to dance. I have to build into my routine so there is time for dance and time for healthy eating. And then I just need to do the work. Get practice. Solve tickets. Keep on researching the water tech

Guided By An Unseen Star

Guided By An Unseen Star I have been on a massive comedown for a month.  I have been productive. I have done amazing work. I am better at software engineering than ever. The thing is. I wanted this job more than anything else in the world. I knew it wouldn’t be right for me to leave here. I knew I had to be here. I knew it would be against the laws of nature and gravity and the universe for me not to be here. Because I love renewable energy and I love water tech. I have crashed. I still dance. I am doing my work but I’m exhausted. And I can’t do anything round the house although ironically I’m doing more than I was doing when I was working 12 hours a day. I once really wanted this job more than anything. And I knew it was right for me to be here

AI and water quality in water treatment processes - again

AI and water quality in water treatment processes - again I can't be bothered to make this long. I am going to be brief. Raw water comes from lots of different sources. As such there are lots of different things we have to think about when we think about where our water comes from as well. Rainwater, groundwater, shallow wells near rivers known as "infiltration wells." So there can be pollutants that have not yet been confirmed in our environments. These can include pesticides, microplastics and pharmaceuticals, and these "emerging pollutants" can be a big factor in water quality. AI can help to improve this. Water Treatment Process Improvement AI can always be used to improve the quality of water treatment processes.  Why and how? Well, it can: Monitor the initial state of the water and its quality Monitor the state and the quality of the water after it has been treated Monitor the processes that were used to get to this condition By knowing this information th...
