What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining robotics and ML where I can design hardware-integrated AI systems, tackle perception/control challenges, and grow in production ML deployment and embedded system integration.

I am a mechatronics engineer with hands-on experience building robotic systems and applying machine learning to real-world sensing problems. I have designed autonomous mobile robots, performed FEA and PID motor control design, and built mechanical subsystems like double-wishbone suspensions while interning at robotics companies.

I pair that hardware background with applied ML and software engineering skills — fine-tuning transformers and diffusion models, building vision pipelines (YOLO, DeepSORT, OpenCV), creating RL agents and RAG-backed NLP services, and deploying solutions with Docker, Kubernetes and Azure DevOps.
