I’m an engineer focused on designing robust robotic systems across embedded hardware, motion control, and electromechanical integration. I hold an MS in Electrical Engineering from Rochester Institute of Technology, where I specialized in robotics, control, and machine learning.
At RIT, I contributed to hands-on engineering teams—including the Electric Vehicle Team and University Rover Challenge Team, and built a strong foundation in C/C++, PCB design, Python, and system-level robotics development.
I’m currently a Research Engineer II at the Robotics and Automation Design Lab at Texas A&M University, where I support contract-based R&D on robotic systems for space applications and extreme environments.
