Designing robot automation systems and computer vision solutions with a physics-first mindset. Building reliable autonomy for the real world.
I build robotics systems
that solve real business problems
Navigation, manipulation, perception, simulation, and AI-driven autonomy. Explained in simple language, delivered with engineering precision.
Robot Navigation
Autonomous robot navigation in unstructured real environments — avoiding obstacles, reaching targets, adapting to dynamic change. I design the systems that make that happen reliably.

Multi-Robot Fleet Coordination
Robot fleet coordination across a shared workspace. I build the multi-robot coordination layer that prevents conflicts, assigns tasks intelligently, and keeps every robot productive without constant human oversight.

Simulation-First Development
Robotics prototyping starts in simulation. I validate robot behaviour through simulation and testing before deployment — faster iteration, lower development cost, and far fewer surprises on real hardware.

Custom Robot Hardware
From sensor integration to firmware to API — I cover the full embedded stack for custom robot builds, including computer vision systems and real-time data pipelines. You get hardware that communicates cleanly with your software from day one.
ESP32 · Embedded Python · I²C/SPI/UART · FastAPI
Core Tech Stack
ROS 2 robotics software development tools and the full stack bridging physics to deployable systems.
Selected Works
Engineering Artifacts & Research
CodiBit & CodiEditor — CodiPlay
Robotics engineering at CodiPlay (Abu Dhabi, UAE) — developing CodiBit (ESP32 + MicroPython) and CodiEditor, a web IDE for block-based programming education.
Patient Monitoring Platform
M.Sc. Thesis project focused on thermal-imaging-based monitoring. Presented at AIR 2025, utilizing IR-RGB fusion for contactless temperature screening and face identification.
Core Motivation
"Make ideas touch reality—turning physics and code into reliable decisions that help people in messy, real-world environments."
