Mechatronics Engineer โ€” Robotics & Automation

Turning bold concepts into real-world robotic systems.

From a 6-DOF wearable robotic arm to deployed industrial automation, I design, prototype, and ship hardware that works โ€” controls, sensing, actuation, and the manufacturing behind it.

About

I build at the intersection of robotics, automation, and advanced manufacturing โ€” taking systems from concept to commissioned hardware. I prototype relentlessly, execute fast, and care about work that creates measurable impact.

Where it started

2014 ยท 1ST YEAR

Automated Cooking System

An Atmel-based platform that prepared up to 10 dishes autonomously via single-touch control โ€” sensor-driven sequencing, timing, and repeatable process control.

GRADE 9 ยท "JERISITOMOVA"

First Robots

Self-built mobile, amphibious, and uneven-terrain robotic platforms from everyday materials โ€” the lifelong start of the work above.
