About me

An engineer who thinks in systems

I am a development engineer working at the intersection of mechanics, electronics, and software. My professional specialization is robotics and the creation of complex technical systems.

I am interested in tasks where you need to not just write code or assemble a component, but build a complete system: from sensors and actuators to control algorithms and the interface.

The approach is simple: understand the task → design the system → build a prototype → test → improve. This is how reliable engineering solutions are born.
