Victor Ruela is a Simulation Engineer and control & automation specialist with 11 years of experience building industrial data-driven systems for the metals and mining sectors. He holds a PhD from TU Wien where he led applied research with Tata Steel to combine MILP scheduling, machine learning, and real-time data pipelines into decision-support tools that improved steelmaking efficiency. His career spans product and systems roles—from developing C#/ASP.NET and Level 2 process control systems to architecting TypeScript/React front-ends and C++ edge platforms for predictive maintenance. At Anglo American he delivered deployed ML solutions in Azure that produced significant operational savings and at Primetals and Hexagon he commissioned real-time simulation and visualization systems across multiple countries. Victor is strong at turning complex metallurgical and operational problems into production-ready software by bridging modeling, cloud data engineering, and on-site commissioning. He brings a rare combination of academic rigor and hands-on deployment experience, often integrating live Databricks streams into optimization workflows.
