I've always been fascinated by the idea of machines thinking, adapting, and solving problems just like we do. That curiosity pushed me from mechanical engineering into robotics, where I learned to blend hardware, software, and intelligence into something truly impactful.

From designing a microbial fuel cell that gave robots bio-inspired emotions to developing cross-domain localization systems tested on land, air, and sea, I've explored what it really means to make machines smarter and more resilient. Along the way, I've worked on quadrupeds that learn to walk, agentic AI systems that automate entire workflows, and vision-guided teleoperation that makes robots feel like an extension of the human hand.

Today, I'm focused on building robotics and AI systems that don't just function but leave a mark—solutions that scale, adapt, and drive sustainability. My journey has been about turning complex challenges into elegant automation, and I'm just getting started.
