About
Robotics/control-focused engineer who built and validated a series elastic actuator control stack end-to-end (dynamic modeling, torque/position control, simulation, and experimental real-time debugging on hardware). Deep simulation background (OpenFOAM/COMSOL/Abaqus) and practical reproducibility tooling (Docker/CI), with conceptual ROS/ROS2 knowledge and confidence ramping into ROS-based stacks.
