Welcome to my GitHub profile! I am a Mechanical Design and Robotics Engineer with an M.Sc. in Robotics and over 5 years of experience in product design, CAD modeling, and automation systems. I specialize in designing electro-mechanical products, optimizing manufacturing workflows, and developing autonomous robotic systems using ROS2, C++, and sensor fusion.
I am passionate about developing cutting-edge solutions in mechanical design and autonomous robotics, with expertise in the full product development lifecycle—from concept generation to prototyping, testing, and final production. Some of my recent contributions include:
- Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) development for autonomous pallet handling in warehouses using ROS2-based control and multi-sensor fusion (radar, ultrasonic, IMU).
- Leading the design and simulation of a multi-arm robotic assembly system in Gazebo and RViz, optimizing kinematics and control for precise operations.
- Designing electro-mechanical systems such as relay-operated switches and proximity-sensor-based automation components that improved production efficiency by up to 41%. With 5+ years of experience in CAD modeling (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, AutoCAD), I have developed robust metal and plastic components and implemented lean manufacturing processes to reduce assembly complexity.
