Martin Calo

Working as a Full Stack AI Engineer in a modern DevOps environment, building and deploying scalable applications using Azure, Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes. I actively contribute across the stack, from backend services to frontend features, with an emphasis on maintainable, production-grade code.

I'm also exploring AI-enhanced development using tools like Cursor to streamline "vibe coding" — leveraging AI to boost productivity, automate repetitive tasks, and generate infrastructure-as-code more intuitively. My work integrates cloud automation, GitOps with Argo CD, and robust CI/CD pipelines, delivering reliable and reproducible environments across dev and prod.

Worked on the development and implementation of MES and software applications, collaborating with cross-functional teams, including software developers, process engineers, and project managers, to gather and analyze requirements. Designed and deployed robust Python and Java-based applications in Ignition, integrating APIs and databases to optimize factory operations globally.

These applications enhanced scalability, reliability, and performance, resulting in a 75% increase in production efficiency, a 50% reduction in operational costs, and improved resource allocation organization-wide.

Additionally, I contributed to code reviews, testing, and CI/CD processes to ensure the quality and stability of software solutions. Provided technical support and troubleshooting during development and deployment to resolve issues efficiently.

As part of the automation team, I provided guidance on automation manufacturing processes, ensuring coordination and communication across all stakeholders and different factories worldwide travelling through different facilities.

Proficient in ladder logic, Function Block Diagram, structured text, and high-level languages like C and Python, as well as SCADA and MES systems, I led teams and drove innovation in control system development and optimization. I specialized in designing and implementing robust solutions for complex machinery to enhance efficiency and reliability.

Additionally, I managed vendors throughout the equipment lifecycle—from specification to installation—while enforcing Tesla's controls standards. By coaching team members and fostering collaboration, I optimized automated processes, improving OEE and successfully ramping up production from 0 to 5,000 drive units in under two years.
