About Me

Hello There!

Engineer by role, innovator by passion. Curiosity drives me. Blending code with hardware is my playground.

With a foundation in Mechanical Engineering and experience at QBurst, I’ve transitioned into robotics with hands-on expertise in ROS/ROS2, embedded systems, and various sensors and development boards. I work across system design, autonomous navigation, and real-time control. Proficient in C, C++, and Python, I use them extensively for embedded programming, algorithms, and system integration. My CAD and simulation background complements my software skills, enabling me to build robust, end-to-end robotic systems.

Beyond robotics, I’m passionate about data analysis and machine learning. I actively explore these areas to broaden my understanding and apply data-driven thinking in both learning and project development.
