Portfolio roadmap

Where to start

A visual guide to exploring this portfolio — smart factories, EV software, streaming ML, and robotics — in a logical build order.

1 Orient 2 Foundation 3 Integrate 4 Deploy
AEGIS + SentinelFlow ← factory AI | OTA Verifier → Key Provision → Overdrive OTA ← EV spine

Four phases

Progress from overview to production-style demos.

1

Foundation

Months 0–6

  • Telemetry + one flagship platform
  • EV security chain end-to-end
  • One ML project served via API
2

Integration

Months 6–18

  • Vision QA + quality RAG into AEGIS
  • Streaming ML + MLOps patterns
  • Cross-project demo on portfolio
3

Deployment

Months 18–36

  • Edge inference (Jetson / ESP32)
  • Full OTA orchestration
  • Robotics + VLA benchmarks

Recommended sequence

Master path — parallel steps can run alongside.
