Robotics Engineer

I'm a robotics engineer with a M.S. in Robotics from the University of Michigan Robotics Department (2023) and a B.S. in Computer Science from Rutgers University (2021).

I build full-stack robotics systems that span embedded firmware, real-time communication, and autonomous software. My day-to-day tools include ROS 2, microROS, RViz, rqt, and Foxglove, and I work with microcontrollers and Raspberry Pi systems as well.
