About Me

Designing systems that improve how people live and move.

I’m an Electrical and Computer Engineer with experience designing robotic systems, transit control circuits, and embedded hardware platforms. I contributed to projects at the Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center, where I co-engineered E2, an advanced dual-arm surgical assistance robot developed in collaboration with NASA, NYITCOM, and the Voya Foundation.

I’ve also worked as a Signal Design and Field Engineer on New York City Transit modernization projects, designing and testing signal relays, PLC and SSI systems, axle counters, and interlocking switch circuitry.

I believe engineering should be purpose-driven, solving real problems and improving the workflows, systems, and communities it serves.

Purpose

What guides my work.
