Mechatronics Engineering student, Teaching Assistant, and scholarship holder focused on robotics, with practical experience in control systems, MATLAB/Simulink modeling, 3D modeling, programming, and electromechanical system development.
My awards and certificates are listed below. My CV is available here.
My goal is to grow into robotics and automation engineering, driven by a strong interest in research and building innovative and intelligent systems.
I am looking for internship in robotics or mechatronics engineering in the United States.
I currently live in NY, Brooklyn.
In my role as a tutor, I help students learn Simulink through hands-on modelling of dynamic ODE systems, including pendulum motion, predator–prey models, bouncing ball dynamics, and stick–slip conveyor belt simulations. I support students in understanding core modelling concepts while developing practical skills in building, validating, and analyzing simulation models across engineering applications.
I designed structured Python programming exercises for university courses and implemented automated assessment workflows in Moodle using CodeRunner. I focused on creating clear, progressively structured tasks, enabling reliable automatic grading, immediate feedback for students, and more efficient and consistent evaluation of programming assignments.
I co-developed a CNC portal milling and engraving machine from 3D concept to a fully functioning prototype, combining mechanical design, electronics integration, and digital manufacturing workflows. I worked on CAD modeling in Fusion 360, selection of motion control electronics and firmware setup (GRBL), calibration, and functional testing.
The project was awarded on multiple scientific youth conferences.
I contributed to the development of an autonomous rain gutter cleaning robot as part of a students team, focusing primarily on electronics, system architecture, functional modelling, and subsystem interaction design. My work included system boundary definition, interaction modelling between mechanical, electrical, and control components, electric schematics development, and D-FMEA analysis.
I co-developed an autonomous solar-powered UV monitoring device as part of a university course, focusing on embedded firmware, hardware-software integration, and system-level design. My work included implementing low-power measurement and LoRa communication routines, integrating a UV sensor with a microcontroller platform, designing an energy-efficient sleep-measure-transmit cycle, and supporting system testing and validation. The project resulted in a functional IoT prototype capable of long-term UV monitoring using solar energy.
I contributed to the electric go-kart development platform by designing and improving CAN bus communication between vehicle subsystems, particularly BMS data exchange and control signals such as velocity and steering angle. I enhanced Simulink CAN integration, structured message transmission and scaling, and implemented fault-monitoring logic to ensure reliable communication for simulation and testing of the electric vehicle control system.
