About Me

I am a passionate and driven engineering student with a focus on embedded systems, control systems, and robotics. My hands-on project experience includes developing complex multi-modal robotic systems, designing firmware for microcontrollers, and implementing real-time computer vision. I thrive on solving challenging problems and bridging the gap between hardware and software.
