I am a robotics engineer with a Master’s degree in Robotics from Purdue University. I have been building and studying robots for years, working across mechanical design, electrical systems, embedded firmware, ROS2, perception, localization, motion planning, control, and kinematics. I enjoy taking a robot from a blank page to a working system by designing the hardware, writing the firmware, and developing the software that brings it to life.
