MSc Robotics • Mechanical Engineer • C++ & Simulation Developer

Building reliable robotic systems from simulation to deployment.

I am an MSc Robotics student at The University of Manchester with a background in mechanical engineering, product design, C++ software development, ROS 2, simulation, and data-driven engineering. My work focuses on autonomous mobile robots, navigation, perception, manipulation, and engineering systems that can be tested, explained, and improved.

Objectives & research interests

What I want to develop next

Career objective

My short-term goal is to work in robotics software, autonomy, simulation, or automation engineering, where I can combine ROS 2, C++/Python, perception, navigation, and system integration. Long term, I want to lead cross-functional teams building dependable autonomous systems that move from prototype to real-world operation.

Research interests

I am interested in autonomous mobile manipulation, SLAM and exploration, Nav2-based navigation, Perception and motion planning, simulation-to-real transfer, and robust system integration for robots operating in uncertain environments.

Engineering identity

My background connects mechanical product design, multiphysics simulation, and software engineering. I aim to build robotic systems with strong technical reasoning, clear evidence, readable code, and practical validation through demonstrations.
