What Drives Me
I became an engineer because I love creating things, and I’ve stayed one because I thrive on the challenge of making ideas real. To me, good engineering is equal parts logic and art: designing with intention, solving problems methodically, and building with purpose.
​
Today, I see myself as an engineering creative who blends technical depth with imagination to approach problems from unexpected angles. I’ve designed robots that automate manufacturing, developed systems that teach others to build satellites, and led teams that turn rough ideas into reliable hardware. Every project is a chance to learn something new, push a boundary, and make something that didn’t exist before.
​
Outside of work, I’m still building, from interactive robots to replica props. Those personal projects are what first drew me to robotics, and they continue to fuel my curiosity. I believe robotics is one of the most powerful tools we have to make the world safer.
This is the start of something great!
