Robotics engineer building bio-inspired systems, modular actuators, and ROS2 tooling.
Chicago, IL
I design robotics systems across mechanical architecture, sensing, controls, and software integration. My work emphasizes reusable hardware, documented workflows, and research-driven prototypes that stay practical for independent builders, smaller labs, and education environments.
My current research direction is CatBot, a feline-inspired quadruped platform for studying bio-inspired locomotion, with a focus on digitigrade gait dynamics, spinal actuation effects, and hardware-constrained robotic mobility.
- CatBot: bio-inspired quadruped research centered on feline locomotion and accessible hardware.
- Actuator ecosystem: modular gearbox, actuator, sensor, and control repositories designed to be reused across robotics platforms.
- D.Hoskia: engineering education, design, and curriculum work built around hands-on mechatronics practice.

I am interested in robotics engineering roles, research collaboration in legged systems and actuation, and education partnerships that bring real mechatronics workflows into the classroom.
