I design mechanisms
that grip, sense,
and move.
Mechanical engineer focused on mechatronics and robotics: adaptive grippers, motor control, and thermal systems, built on a foundation of CNC machining, CAD, and hands-on lab work at Boston University.

Six builds, one habit: take the mechanism apart until it's simple.
Grippers, actuators, and control systems: designed in CAD, machined by hand, and tuned on the bench.
