Mechanical System Engineer | Mastering the Art of Developing from Scratch

About

Mechanical System Engineer with 4+ years of experience designing and building robotic systems from concept to deployment. My work spans industrial robotics and soft robotics — from designing structural architectures and drive-trains to integrating sensors, actuators, and ROS2-based control systems. I enjoy working at the intersection of mechanical engineering and robotics, where hardware meets software and prototypes become real systems. I have hands-on experience across the full system lifecycle — design, analysis, fabrication, and validation — with a strong foundation in both product development and research environments. 🔧 Core Expertise: Structural Design & Analysis | Drive-train Engineering | Robot Kinematics | ROS/ROS2 | Sensor Fusion | SolidWorks | Fusion 360 | Python | MATLAB | Always excited to connect with like-minded engineers at the cutting edge of robotics and automation.
