Technical Project ManagerTech Entrepreneur Software, Solutions & Systems Architect
A curious generalist and founder who loves the hard technical problems, especially in robotics and Physical AI. I start from the business need or the customer's problem, turn it into a roadmap and a scalable architecture, and lead the teams that build it into a working product.

I'm a generalist with over 12 years of hands-on engineering in robotics, embedded systems and AI. I work across the whole stack, from silicon and firmware up to the application, which lets me go deep when something breaks: debugging and optimizing exactly where it matters. I'm especially drawn to Physical AI, where software meets the real world.
Today most of my work is technical project management and product development. I start from the customer's problem and the business case, shape the roadmap and a scalable architecture, and guide the team from concept to product. When the team hits a blocker, I sit down and solve it myself.
I left my PhD to co-found two robotics startups. Outside work I play professional badminton, hike, cook, teach and build open-source hardware and software.
