Meet the Human in the Loop

Most robots today still need constant supervision. They follow, wait, and fail under pressure.

 

Not the ones I build. As a robotics and digital systems engineer, I design autonomous systems that move, sense, and decide in real time without constant input.

 

I have spent the last four years transforming machines into smart, reliable teammates that adapt in real-time and maintain high performance even in unpredictable conditions.

 

When the world turns autonomous, will you be leading that shift or watching it happen?

Things I've Engineered

What I've built - and what I can build for you.

Autonomous Car - NVIDIA
 

Built a self-driving prototype that fused LIDAR data with ArUco marker tracking through a Kalman filter. The system localized itself in real time and navigated dynamic environments with smooth path prediction and obstacle awareness. A complete demo of sensor fusion, control logic, and autonomous mobility on lean hardware.

Smart Robotic Arm - Dobot CR3
 

A responsive robotic arm designed for precision pick-and-place tasks. Developed end-to-end from mechanical control to software interface, it executes accurate movements based on real-time inputs. A showcase of automation logic, hardware integration, and efficient system design.

Smart Infotainment System - Intel
 

Built a smart dashboard system from scratch using a Raspberry Pi. Beyond full MP3 playback features, it enabled control of car lights, doors, horn, and trunk, even real phone calls. Designed both the control logic and a custom GUI for seamless UX.

What I Believe

I believe technology should assist, include, and empower. Everyone deserves access to tools that make life easier, not harder.


That’s why I’m passionate about building useful, accessible, and purposeful technology that actually solves problems for real people.

What I Do

I build applied, intelligent systems that blend automation, user experience, and machine learning: the kind that make everyday processes smarter, faster, and more human


I've worked on real-world projects with NVIDIA, Intel, Continental, Decathlon, Manchester Robotics, and businesses, delivering systems from idea to execution.

How I Work

I treat every project like it’s mine, I take full ownership from idea to deployment.

I balance speed with precision, always focusing on clean architecture and reliable systems.

I’m a strong communicator who can bridge technical depth with user understanding.

I iterate fast, test often, and never ship something I wouldn’t use myself.

I adapt quickly across stacks, teams, and tools, I learn what’s needed to get it done.
