About

Who I Am

I'm passionate about building intelligent machines and software, and I enjoy solving real-world problems through robotics, automation, and coding. With hands-on experience in both hardware and software, I bridge the gap between mechanical systems and intelligent solutions, from custom PCBs and CAD-designed chassis to computer vision pipelines and control loops.
