A Bit About Me
I am a mechatronics engineer with 5+ years of experience in Product Development. I have broad experience in designing and prototyping biomedical devices, robotics & automation systems, and MEMS device integration. I am a goal-driven conceptual thinker with the ability to align teams to achieve strategic business objectives in R&D, manufacturing & topology optimization, project lifecycle management, and project leadership.
​​
I love to explore, interdisciplinary fields which involve Mechatronics and Biology. My research interests are in the field of BioInspired robotics, Biomechanics, Surgical Robotics, and Biomedical Device Design.
​
When I'm not in front of a computer screen, I'm probably sketching, traveling, cooking, or playing sports.
