02The Engineer

I buildreliable systems.

I'm a Computer Science student who splits time between two worlds: production robotics automation and full-stack web platforms. At BurgerBots, I write the software that keeps ABB robotic arms coordinated with real food-production hardware — and outside of work, I ship complete platforms with auth, databases, and CI/CD pipelines from scratch.

My approach is the same in both: understand the failure modes first. Whether it's a silently unreachable robot behavior or a stale database connection pool taking down production, I trace problems to their root cause instead of patching around them.

03Capabilities

TechnicalCapabilities.

Robotics & Automation

Perception, control, and hardware-integration software for ABB industrial arms and ROS2 systems — from OpenCV vision pipelines to Gazebo-simulated control loops.

Full-Stack Development

Complete platforms on Next.js, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL — schema design, authentication, and APIs built to hold up outside a demo environment.

DevOps & CI/CD

Docker containers, Kubernetes deployments, and GitHub Actions pipelines that run tests and dependency scans automatically on every push.

Testing & Reliability

pytest, Vitest, and Playwright suites written to catch control-loop bugs and auth regressions before they reach production, not after.
