Profile

I like systems that leave the screen and do something in the physical world.

My work sits at the intersection of electronics, code and practical problem-solving. I build with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, sensors, camera modules, voice modules and AI tooling, then turn those pieces into prototypes that can be tested in real life.

What makes me useful on a team is momentum. I can research, wire, code, debug, document and iterate without waiting for perfect conditions. I am especially interested in internships and teams working on robotics, embedded AI, automation and IoT products.

How I work

Useful on a team because I move from concept to evidence.

01

Prototype fast

Start with the smallest working circuit, script or mechanical behavior that proves the idea.

02

Debug in layers

Separate hardware, firmware, network and UI issues so the project keeps moving.

03

Document the build

Capture wiring, code, failures and results so teammates can understand and improve the system.

Build channel

I document robots, AI projects and IoT systems.

Follow the experiments, failures and final working demos on YouTube.
