I build robotic, automated, and data-driven mechanical systems.

I combine mechanical design, prototyping, embedded systems, computer vision, ROS 2, PLC automation, and control systems to build machines that move, sense, decide, and operate reliably.

Background

From mechanical design to autonomous systems.

I am a graduate mechanical engineering student at Louisiana State University, focused on robotics, target capture, prediction, and control. Previously, I worked as Chief Mechanical Engineer at Bancroft Automated Restaurant Systems, where I helped develop automated food-service technologies from prototype to deployment.

My work sits at the intersection of mechanical engineering, automation, robotics, controls, and software integration.
