I work where software meets hardware — control loops on microcontrollers, autonomous robots, and the ML systems that let them see.
Selected work
full case studies in progress
Fast Robots
RoboticsA hand-built differential-drive robot that localizes with a Bayes filter and uses a Kalman filter to act faster than its sensors update.

Huey — autonomous combat robot
RoboticsA combat robot that finds and attacks its opponent on its own: YOLO detection driving an orientation controller with anti-windup over a closed-loop drivetrain.
weight class: 3 lb
Parallel SpGEMM
Systems · HPCSparse matrix–matrix multiplication built on Gustavson's algorithm, parallelized against load imbalance and memory-bound accumulation.
speedup: ~21× on 32 cores

SpeechLens
ML · CVA fully local speech-analysis stack — faster-whisper and Silero VAD behind a FastAPI service — running on an RTX 5090 and a Jetson Orin Nano.
