AI robotics researcher focused on controls, autonomy, and human‑useful software. Cofounder & CEO at Fusion Bots. CTO/CPO on the governing committee at YPSF (UN MGCY).
Robotics
Mechanisms, reliability, and closed‑loop control — design → build → test with data‑driven iteration.
AI
Perception, forecasting, and decision support integrated into real apps and robots.
Autonomy
Sensing + feedback + planning for robust behavior under constraints and time pressure.
Aerospace
Flight simulation, rocketry CAD, and mission math for safe, stable trajectories.
About
Downingtown STEM Academy — IB Diploma Candidate (Class of 2026). Pathway: Robotics I–III. HL: Math AA, Physics, Economics; SL: German, Literature, TOK. Weighted GPA 4.35.
I build end‑to‑end systems: perception and control on hardware, plus full‑stack web apps that people actually use. I value fast feedback loops, clear specs, and measurable results.
3 years Varsity Tennis • Team Captain (2025–26).
