Robotics engineer
Electrical engineering, robotics software, autonomy, and product systems.
Building robots in the real world. From new robot platforms to industrial deployments, I work where hardware, software, and messy physical reality meet.
Cofounded HIRO Industries and lead product, hardware engineering, and company direction. Developing Origin, a stationary bimanual robot designed around human workstations, with packing, kitting, and light assembly as initial applications. Work spans mechanical and electrical design, actuator and component selection, CAD assemblies, grippers, and prototype fabrication planning. Product development Mechanical design Electrical systems Bimanual robotics
Corvallis↗ Oregon
Worked across NORI L2, L3, and A3 as the robot program evolved from platform foundations to a commercial home robot. Contributed across electrical systems, perception, SLAM, navigation, ROS development, robot bring-up, and the voice agent. Electrical Perception SLAM Navigation ROS Voice agent

Extended published work on bi-stable tape robot manipulation and reconfiguration through experimental characterization, building on this paper . Focused on repeatability and controllability so experimental results could guide follow-on prototype and controls decisions. Mechanism design Characterization Controls
Corvallis↗ Oregon
Designed and built Sucky, a custom autonomous cleaning robot with a purpose-built chassis and dual-cyclone vacuum system. Integrated accelerated NVBLOX mapping, RealSense visual SLAM, Nav2, custom hardware drivers, coverage planning, and a mission-control interface on Jetson Nano. ROS 2 Visual SLAM Nav2 Hardware
Willamina↗ Oregon
Converted an industrial push sweeper into an autonomous mobile robot using ROS 2, SLAM, and Nav2. Built custom relay and microcontroller control for the motorized brushes, then added PS4 teleoperation alongside autonomous point-to-point navigation. ROS 2 Embedded control SLAM Teleoperation
