I am a robotics engineer with experience across robotic system design, mechanical engineering, and learning-based methods, working at the intersection of physical hardware, simulation, and intelligent behavior. I enjoy building systems that exist in the real world—robots, mechanisms, and devices that must function reliably under practical constraints rather than idealized assumptions. My background spans academic research, industrial R&D, and hands-on prototyping, allowing me to move comfortably between concept development and physical implementation. 

I am motivated by building engineering systems that make people’s lives better, whether by improving safety, usability, efficiency, or access. This motivation has guided my work across medical devices, human-interactive robotics, and assistive systems, where design decisions have real consequences for users. I am especially drawn to problems where thoughtful engineering—simpler mechanisms, better structure, or clearer system design—can reduce complexity and make technology more robust and approachable.
