About me

Engineer at the Crossroads of Robotics, Control, and Mechanics — I specialize in building intelligent, adaptive robotic systems that merge advanced control theory with practical mechanical design and mechatronic integration.

Bridging the algorithmic and the physical, I work across the full robotics stack, from perception and state estimation, to planning, learning-based control, embedded integration, and mechanical design, enabling end-to-end development of intelligent robotic systems. What I offer is not just research or prototyping, but deployable robotics systems that move, adapt, and deliver. In an industry hungry for engineers who can unify intelligence and embodiment, I bring that convergence.
