Robotics

Built the first deployed dishwashing robot that runs 24/7 in commercial kitchens.

Joined as the first hardware engineer to lead prototyping and development of core subsystems for the company’s first robotic product.

Developed a modular powerpack and a repairable powered knee brace concept. Designed custom PCBs and wire harnesses. Supported field testing and demos, maintained a fleet of robotic leg systems, and integrated user feedback into design iterations. Also led quick-turn prototyping efforts, managed the internal shop, and trained teammates on fabrication tools, including a 3-axis CNC mill.

Led contract hardware design and engineering projects involving impact resistant assemblies, custom PCBs, firmware, charging circuits, and Bluetooth LE integration. Managed electrical and software engineers and collaborated with international vendors to deliver functional prototypes.
