Robotics Engineer focused on Embedded hardware, automation, and R&D prototyping.

I design and prototype PCBs, integrate sensors, and build embedded systems that modernize equipment and enable new capabilities. My interests span robotics and UAS flight control, but the consistent theme is engineering innovation with disciplined iteration.

Real-time detection on constrained compute for UAV-oriented workflows—focused on reliability, performance tuning, and deployment constraints.

PCB IMU / Sensors Embedded

Custom Flight Controller

Custom controller prototype centered on PCB bring-up, sensor validation, and clean firmware architecture for iteration.

Robotics Python Simulation

RoboDK Python Toolpath Demo

Python-driven motion scripting for a 6-axis robot in RoboDK—toolpath generation, simulation validation, repeatable testing.

Engineering workflow

The throughline across my work is repeatable iteration: define the problem, prototype quickly, test hard, and refine until it’s reliable.

Ideation

Clarify the objective, constraints, and what “good” looks like. Identify the fastest path to a measurable prototype.

Architecture

Partition hardware/firmware, define interfaces, and plan safe states. Power budget and IO plan first.

Prototype

Breadboard/dev board and quick CAD fixtures. Build the minimum that validates the key risks early.

PCB & Integration

Schematic → layout → bring-up. Sensor integration, comms validation, and mechanical fit for real-world use.

Test & Validate

Bench testing with instrumentation. Capture failures, reproduce issues, and validate fixes with data.

Iterate

Refine for reliability: cleanup, documentation, and repeatability. Improve performance only after stability.

Toolchain

Tools and interfaces I actively use. This is designed to be easy to update over time (and you can drop logos into each category later).
