01 — Profile

About the engineer

As a robotics engineer with a strong background in electronic engineering and IoT device development, I bring a working blend of hardware precision and software judgement to every build.

My master's research centered on flexible capacitive tactile sensors — giving machines a working sense of touch — and that same instinct for turning raw signal into decision now shows up in the AI systems I build: diagnostic tools, recognition pipelines, and the robots that carry them. Day to day I move between C#, Python, and C, ROS, and embedded boards, treating each layer of a robotic system — sensing, computing, acting — as one continuous problem.
