Robotics, reinforcement learning, humanoid control, and hands-on mechanical design — from simulation to hardware.
Trained a So-Arm robotic manipulator using Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) in NVIDIA Isaac Lab. The agent progresses from random movements to precise, coordinated grasping.
Stage 1: Initial (untrained)
Stage 2: Mid-training
Stage 3: Fully trained
Combined locomotion and manipulation on a quadruped robot using RL with a pretrained AMO controller. The robot walks to objects and manipulates them — demonstrated with a screwdriver pick-and-place task.

End-to-end humanoid locomotion system combining Whole Body Control, DCM-based trajectory planning, and multi-directional gait generation. WBC is formulated as a QP minimizing joint accelerations and reaction forces subject to full-body dynamics constraints, providing real-time torque commands for balancing. The DCM planner decomposes CoM dynamics into stable/unstable components for footstep trajectory generation with ZMP constraints. Together they enable forward, backward, and lateral walking with Lyapunov-guaranteed stability.
Identified a recurring punch retraction issue causing quality defects. Designed 4 new stripper plates in SolidWorks, 3D-printed prototypes for rapid iteration, and validated compatibility with the rocker punch machine. Mitigated 95% of quality issues and improved production consistency.
Addressed frequent scratching and warping of M3 Frunk Clips during transportation to General Assembly. Designed custom protective clip covers in SolidWorks, 3D-printed prototypes, and iterated on durability. Achieved a 97% reduction in clip damage and significantly reduced scrap.
Engineered a spring-loaded installation tool for Parking Assist sensors to eliminate Not-Seated-Properly (NSP) defects. Designed in SolidWorks, validated through multiple prototypes, and refined with production teams for ergonomic use. Delivered proof of concept with full documentation for continued development.
Built a robotic arm manipulation pipeline with forward/inverse kinematics, trajectory generation, and real-time control. The system computes joint-space trajectories from task-space goals using analytical IK, then executes smooth motion profiles with PD control and gravity compensation. Tested in simulation with pick-and-place tasks requiring precise end-effector orientation.
Automated water management system for swimming pools. Designed in SolidWorks with a 3D-printed casing mounted on the skimmer lid. Raspberry Pi with ultrasonic sensors and solenoid valves monitors and controls water levels in real-time.
Fortive / Hengstler Dynapar
Versatile fixture to securely hold rotary encoder modules at precise angles for cover assembly. Designed in SolidWorks and manufactured using a resin 3D printer. Minimized operator error and increased safety — operators no longer need to hold the module during screwing.
Fortive / Hengstler Dynapar
Designed a fixture to firmly secure PCBs while soldering wire connectors. Designed in SolidWorks, prototyped via 3D printing, and final version manufactured using CNC machining. Improved safety as operators no longer need to hold the board during soldering.
