Full-cycle product design from precision 3D CAD modeling to embedded C++ development for autonomous hardware.
"Bridging the gap between precision hardware design and intelligent software automation to build machines that think, move, and solve."
Operator Profile
I am a Mechanical Engineer who evolved into a full-stack roboticist. My work spans the entire hardware lifecycle: from designing stress-tested space frames in SolidWorks, to fabricating components via additive manufacturing, to writing the C++ control logic that brings the system to life.
