I'm passionate about building real-world autonomous systems that make a difference. With a strong background in robotics engineering, my experience spans across sensor integration, motion planning, real-time system development, and robotics perception. I've worked closely on bringing autonomous systems to life, from early concept through deployment with a focus on solving complex problems at the intersection of hardware and software.

I'm especially excited about opportunities where I can contribute to scaling next-generation technologies, whether it's autonomous vehicles, mobile robotics, or advanced ADAS systems. I thrive in collaborative, hands-on environments and enjoy working on projects that push the boundaries of what's possible in robotics and autonomy.

Always learning, always building.

Feel free to connect and I’m always happy to talk about robotics, autonomy, and the future of intelligent systems!
