What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a mechatronics, robotics, controls, automation, or electromechanical engineering role where I can apply hands-on systems integration experience, learn independently, and contribute to real engineering challenges from day one.

I've built a GPS-guided ROS 2 autonomous drone swarm from bare components, integrating Pixhawk flight controllers, single-board computers, GPS/IMU sensor fusion, and Python control nodes for closed-loop flight control.

My hands-on projects include a PID-controlled fluid power system, a 6-DOF articulated robot arm with C/C++ motion planning, and a four-story Arduino elevator system validated across all 12 bidirectional floor transitions. I design in CAD, fabricate components, solder electronics, and take systems through testing and documentation.

I've programmed FANUC CRX-10iA and Universal Robots E-Series cobots, configured PLC and HMI systems using Allen Bradley, Siemens TIA Portal, and Rockwell platforms, and completed Universal Robots certification tracks.

At Kst Data supporting Universal Studios Orlando, I deployed, configured, and troubleshot hardware and peripheral systems under time-sensitive conditions to minimize downtime.
