Crane Systems
Building AI-Powered tools that solves real-world problems
Tom Lawrence Odongo
Founder of Crane Systems. Actively engineering production-grade AI tools for compliance, security, and business operations.
Latest Milestone: Invited to showcase how CyberGuardian contributes to research at the Artificial Intelligence and Antimicrobial Resistance Symposium, themed, "Harnessing AI to combat AMR", supported by Makerere University, the African Center of Excellence, Google DeepMind, and the Infectious Diseases Institute.
AI product builder and cybersecurity enthusiast with a background in industrial process operations and a growing portfolio of production-grade AI tools. I design, build, and deploy LLM-powered applications that solve real business problems, from multi-module audit dashboards achieving ~90% analysis accuracy to AI-driven automotive diagnostics and cybersecurity advisory platforms.
Currently completing an Associate's Degree in Computer Science while actively contributing to AI/security innovation using different Platforms. My unique edge is bridging operational technology (OT) environments with AI-powered security solutions, a skill set that is increasingly critical as industrial infrastructure faces evolving cyber threats.
