About

Autonomous systems engineer with 4+ years building production drone and land-based robotic platforms. I work on the full stack — computer vision, VIO, ROS2, edge AI, and cloud infrastructure — currently deploying on ModalAI VOXL2. Pursuing a master's in Autonomous Systems, focusing on VLA. I write about what I actually build and debug: real systems, real crashes, real code.
