What I'm looking for

I am looking for hands-on roles building vision or robotics systems with robust data pipelines, collaborative research teams, and opportunities to apply embedded and software expertise.

I am a computer vision and robotics engineer with multidisciplinary experience across research, embedded systems, software development, and data annotation. I have authored a book, contributed poems to multiple anthologies, and published technical work while delivering testing, development, and teaching roles in international research labs and industry.

My technical strengths include Python, C, MATLAB, OpenCV, embedded hardware and EDA tools, and data-labeling workflows; I have led testing and development of electronic boards, implemented video-compression algorithms, and supported neuromorphic-sensor characterization and cognitive vision projects. I seek opportunities where I can apply my research background and practical engineering skills to build reliable vision systems and high-quality datasets.
