Other Projects
Additional simulation, FPGA, embedded, and fabrication work.
DinoPatch
The research prototype that established the segmentation and DINOv2 patch workflow later developed into makroInspect.
Sediment Sampling ROV
A gamepad-controlled underwater sampling vehicle with onboard Raspberry Pi compute and a browser-based live interface.
Spotify Album Cover Display

About
I’m an autonomous-systems M.Sc. student working across embedded systems, robotics, perception, and digital design.
My work bridges hardware and software: embedded firmware, Python automation and analysis, PCB design, FPGA development, mechanical prototyping, bring-up, and oscilloscope-based debugging. I’ve applied that systems approach at Intel Foundry and Reliable Controls.
