Robotics & AI engineer building autonomous systems

I design and build robots end-to-end — from low-level microcontroller firmware to real-time computer vision running on the edge. Currently studying Robotics & AI at the University of Hertfordshire.

About

From firmware to AI inference

I specialise in embedded systems, computer vision, and autonomous robotics — bridging the gap between physical hardware and intelligent software. I'm comfortable across the full stack of a robot: writing real-time firmware in C, fusing sensor data, and deploying machine-learning models on resource-constrained hardware.

My projects span ROS 2 navigation and SLAM, custom-trained YOLOv8 object detection, face and gesture recognition with depth cameras, and offline voice recognition on microcontrollers. I care about systems that hold up in the real world — low-latency, on-device, and reliable.

Right now I'm exploring sensor fusion, probabilistic robotics, and ML deployment on the edge, and I'm open to internships, placements, and roles in robotics, autonomous systems, and AI engineering.
