As an aspiring engineer and creative solution designer, I envision myself pushing the boundaries of the state of the art of technologies, while building innovative solutions for greater accessibility and quality of life around the globe. My efforts will be dedicated to making sure that my creative design skills and expertise in robotics are put to good use to support and inspire human-robot collaboration that boost accessibility and productivity.

The core of my ideology spans the crossing between Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, which will fundamentally change the dynamics between labor and production and offer solutions to some of the most significant challenges of our time.

To this end, I recognize engineering as a collaborative effort by nature. This is the reason why I aim to foster the understanding, the passion, and collaborative atmosphere in any course, project, and lab team in which I contribute. I believe that by fostering an active, open, and collaborative engineering culture, we as engineers can build anything we dream of. By fostering collaboration and sharing knowledge, we can accelerate innovation and ensure that the benefits of our work ripple out to every corner of society.

Engineering is invaluable only when put to proper use. My engineering decisions are based on the recognition of today's global challenges on accessibility, productivity, and global food and security crises. My robotic research focuses on creating versatile modular robots that are re-configurable to excel in a wide range of tasks. In the meantime, the open standards will encourage production and vastly cut the cost of these robot platforms, making them more accessible than ever before. Creating affordable intelligent robots is my way of supporting the lives of the disabled people, supporting the industrialization of less developed parts of the world, and providing capable tools for the creation of new state of the art technologies.

Ultimately, my philosophy lies in the intersection of robotics advancements and improvement to the wellbeing of the human race, promoting accessibility, equity, and positive values around the globe. I hope that the creative solutions benefit not only those financially affluent, but also those with less resources to employ the state of the art.
