PhD roboticist (SUNY Binghamton — Robotics & AI) and VP of Engineering at C4V (Charge CCCV), a battery & cell-technology company. I live in two worlds at once — academic research and industry leadership — and I'm happiest building the machine that solves the whole class of a problem, not just the one in front of me.
Rigor to the point of bit-exactness, first-principles reframing until an ugly heuristic becomes a clean optimality problem, and a strong bias toward owning my data, tools, and infrastructure.
- 🤖 Robotics & autonomy — pavement crack-sealing robotics, coverage & path-planning, perception (IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2024).
- 🔋 Batteries & energy — cell technology, BMS, and product engineering at C4V; inventor on multiple battery patents (LiSER electrochemical cells; cell-lid design).
- 🧠 Agentic AI — building a personal "agentic OS": semantic retrieval, knowledge graphs, and LLM tooling I own end-to-end.
- 🏠 Home labbing & self-hosting — a serious self-hosted homelab (unRaid + Proxmox) running my own services, media, and private LLM/vector backends; I'd rather own the stack than rent it.
- 🧩 Cross-domain — I carry methods (optimization, FEA, statistical shape modeling) across robotics, batteries, biomechanics, and manufacturing.
