Robotics & Embedded Systems
Expertise in robotics engineering including hardware and software integration, ROS and ROS2 frameworks, embedded systems development, and hands-on experience with precision haptic interfaces for surgical microrobots.
AI & Machine Learning Development
Development of adaptive AI models reacting to user behavior, design of robust system prompts and guardrails for safety-critical LLM pipelines, and integration of LLM APIs into production environments.
Technical Project Management
End-to-end technical project management using Agile methodologies, RACI Matrix, PRD Writing, Requirements Gathering, and Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), with a track record of delivering projects ahead of schedule.
API Integrations & Middleware
Design and implementation of API integrations and middleware solutions connecting diverse software systems and services.
Programming Languages
Proficiency in Python and C++ for software development across robotics, AI, and systems engineering domains.
Containerization & DevOps Tools
Use of Docker, GitHub, and Linux for software deployment, version control, and system administration in engineering projects.
System Architecture Mapping
Creation of technical specifications, system architecture maps, and acceptance criteria to align engineering teams with project requirements.
Project Management Tools
Hands-on experience with Scrum, Jira, Notion, LucidChart, Miro, and n8n for project tracking, workflow automation, and team collaboration.
AI Prompt Engineering & QA
Design of tool-calling validation schemas and guardrails for LLM pipelines, reducing unnecessary API token consumption and optimizing compute costs.

Project history
Led hardware and software integration of a precision haptic interface for minimally invasive surgical microrobots within the EU-funded REGO consortium.
Cleared critical-path technical blockers and resolved cross-team dependencies, recovering past delays and delivering the integrated platform 30 days ahead of schedule.
Directed engineering delivery from concept to working Proof-of-Concept (PoC), successfully securing $100,000 in seed funding to launch MVP development.
