About

I’m a robotics and vision systems engineer with 9 years of experience building high-reliability C++ software for mission-critical systems. My work spans surgical robotics, underwater autonomy, and neural implants.

Most notably, I led the robotics software team at Neuralink, where I scaled the team and guided development of the FDA-facing robotic surgery platform. Currently, I’m building next-generation neural recording devices at Science Corporation, where I architect ultra-low-latency data acquisition pipelines for implantable hardware.
