About

A bit about me

Robotics researcher and builder shipping Python-first tooling, embodied AI, and human-in-the-loop automation.

Background

Robotics tooling across research labs, startups, and manufacturing floors.

  • Robotics research scientist at Huawei, building Ark and pushing in-context learning.
  • Founder and operator across YC Start-up School and Imperial Chocolate, blending hardware, ML, and experience design.
  • Hands-on with autonomy stacks, perception, and LLM-driven robotics from concept to deployment.

Education

Imperial College London.

  • MSc Computer Science (Robotics & Machine Learning)
  • BEng Design Engineering
Robotics Research ScientistHuawei · Oct 2024—Present
  • Lead the design and development of Ark, a lightweight Python-first robotics framework adopted at Imperial, UCL, and TUM with 1,000+ downloads.
  • Engineered no-code pipelines to collect, train, and deploy Pi0 and OpenVLA models for manipulation fleets.
  • Developed an active-learning system identification workflow using Bayesian optimization to estimate object mass within +/- 100 g.
Robotic Systems (R&D) EngineerPerkinElmer · Apr 2023—Jul 2023
  • Built an 85% accuracy labware deck verification model using PyTorch, TensorFlow, and OpenCV on AWS production lines.
  • Delivered microliter-precision liquid level detection via U-Net segmentation to unlock automated QC.
  • Planned a federated ML strategy aligned with FDA guidance for deployment across 1,000+ instruments.
FounderImperial Chocolate · Apr 2022—Present
  • Craft exclusive chocolate experiences for world-leading universities and Diageo, celebrating rare cacao.
  • Collaborate with designers and chocolatiers serving the Royal Family, Bill Gates and Elon Musk.
