About me

As a Robotics Engineer, I focus on building precise and reliable autonomous robotic solutions.

I lead the firmware development for HP SitePrint, delivering a robot with 3 mm localization accuracy through novel RTS and IMU algorithms.

My work also involves defining rigorous accuracy metrics and actively shaping technology roadmaps to advance autonomous robotics.

I also have a wide range of interests, from pure programming to robotics, computer vision and deep learning.
