About Me

I’m a mechatronics and robotics engineer passionate about building systems that connect mechanical design, electronics, and intelligent control. My recent work includes designing multi-robot cooperation platforms with ROS2 and C++, creating competition robots with custom sensing and actuation, and developing autonomous rovers capable of localization and obstacle avoidance. Alongside my research, I’ve also gained experience in industry as a process and mechanical engineer, applying DFM, FMEA, and reliability testing to ensure designs scale beyond the lab.

I thrive in projects that demand both hands-on hardware prototyping and algorithmic problem-solving. My experiences span over trajectory planning with motion capture and AprilTags, to sensor fusion for real-time navigation. Alongside my research, I’ve explored DIY builds and hardware modifications, keeping me closely connected to practical engineering challenges.

Outside engineering, I’m often out on a lake fishing, riding bikes through new cities, or prototyping personal projects on my 3D printer. I also enjoy sharing what I build — especially when it sparks curiosity or inspires someone to start building themselves.
