I'm a Robotics Engineering student focused on building systems that interact with the physical world, not just software on a screen. My work sits at the intersection of hardware and software: designing circuits, working with microcontrollers, writing embedded code, and refining prototypes for real-world use.

My most meaningful project so far is a bidirectional assistive communication system: a glove with flex sensors that translates hand gestures into speech, while also converting speech into robotic hand movements. The project earned a special award at an international microcontroller competition. I have also published two academic papers and presented my work at my university research conference.

Outside of robotics, I self-host projects on a Raspberry Pi, have a background in web development, and work with circuits, CAD, and 3D design tools. I care about building systems that are not only functional and well-crafted, but also highly resource-efficient.

• 🦾 My glove can turn sign language gestures into speech - and speech back into gestures on a robot hand
• 🍓 My first self-hosted project runs on a Raspberry Pi sitting somewhere in my room right now
• 🎨 I design in Blender, edit in Premiere, draw in Procreate - the creative side is just as real as the technical one
• 📄 Two published/in-press academic papers, both on systems I actually built and tested
