About Me

I’m interested in robotics and autonomous systems, with a focus on real-world learning challenges like sample inefficiency, unstable environments, and sparse rewards. I have experience working with ROS, microcontrollers, and PCB design, and have participated in Kaggle competitions to apply machine learning techniques to real-world data. I’ve also explored simulation with Gazebo, created 3D models in Fusion 360, and built simple web interfaces for remote robot control. Looking ahead, I hope to become a robotics engineer working on embedded autonomy, real-time learning, and intelligent control systems for physical robots.
