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.
With growing class sizes and limited support, I independently ran weekly Simulink exercises, helping students translate ODE theory into working models. This reduced faculty workload by ~8 hours/week and contributed to an 11% increase in exam pass rate.
Manual grading consumed 15 hours/week and delayed feedback by up to one week. I redesigned the Python exercise structure and implemented automated grading in Moodle, reducing feedback time to instant, saving ~165 hours per semester, and contributing to a 16% increase in exam pass rate.
To provide affordable CNC prototyping access, I co-developed a low-cost engraving machine (work area 13x7 inches, 24V) from CAD to working prototype. The project resulted in a functional educational tool and received awards at two engineering conferences.
To address safety risks of manual gutter cleaning, I developed the system architecture for a <2.5 kg autonomous robot within a 4-member engineering team. I defined subsystem interfaces, electrical schematics, and D-FMEA analysis, delivering a prototype-ready functional concept.
For long-term UV monitoring, I co-developed a solar-powered IoT node with low-power sleep-measure-transmit cycles and long-range LoRa communication. The result was a fully autonomous outdoor prototype capable of continuous operation without manual charging.
To enable reliable go-kart subsystem communication, I designed and refined CAN architecture for BMS and control signals in Simulink, implementing structured IDs, signal scaling, and persistent fault monitoring. This improved communication robustness and ensured reliable system simulation before hardware testing.
