Building robots, systems, and software that interact with the real world.

I'm an MS in Robotics with experience across mechanism design, electronics, controls, and software, and I'm most interested in building end-to-end robotic systems.

Pose estimation and mapping through fused visual and inertial sensing.

About

I thrive on building systems that bridge software and hardware.

My interests span all areas of robotics, the intersection of embedded systems, software, and hardware. I like projects that require both careful reasoning and hands-on execution.

Whether that means designing a mechanism, building out electronics, developing control software, or architecting the entire stack, I enjoy turning difficult ideas into working systems.

This portfolio is a selection of projects that reflect that approach.
