About me

I am a Full-Stack Engineer and research-oriented builder with a strong interest in systems that combine:

  • Modern web engineering and product architecture
  • Scientific computing and reproducible research workflows
  • Distributed control, graph-structured systems, and multi-agent coordination
  • Robotics and industrial automation
  • Power systems, PMUs, dynamic frequency estimation, and low-inertia grids
  • Machine learning for engineering and scientific discovery

My long-term direction is to develop a rigorous portfolio in control, robotics, and intelligent systems, while continuing to build serious production software and technically ambitious research tools.


Current focus

Research and technical themes

  • Distributed and graph-structured control
  • Multi-agent systems and cooperative robotics
  • Dynamic frequency and RoCoF estimation for low-inertia power grids
  • FPGA-oriented real-time estimation architectures
  • Benchmarking frameworks for scientific and engineering methods
  • Research automation, bibliometrics, and knowledge synthesis

What I am building

  • Benchmark platforms for frequency-estimation methods under realistic grid disturbances
  • Scientific tooling for reproducible experimentation, evaluation, and reporting
  • Full-stack products with strong backend, workflow automation, and AI-assisted analysis
  • Research infrastructure that is robust enough to become publishable, extensible, and reusable by others

Selected work

OpenFreqBench

A benchmarking framework for frequency and RoCoF estimators in modern power systems, especially under low-inertia and converter-dominated conditions.

Core ideas:

  • Research-grade evaluation pipelines
  • Dynamic and stress-test scenarios beyond easy steady-state cases
  • Latency vs. robustness trade-off analysis
  • Honest comparison of classical, Kalman-based, PLL/FLL, and data-driven estimators

Why it matters: Most estimator comparisons are too narrow, too idealized, or too hard to reproduce. I am interested in building a benchmark that becomes a reliable technical reference rather than another one-off experiment.


FPGA-based real-time estimation

A research direction focused on hardware-oriented implementations of dynamic estimators, especially Kalman-style approaches and real-time signal-processing pipelines for power applications.

Core ideas:

  • Architectures that are actually hardware-native instead of pseudo-CPU designs on FPGA
  • Parallel and scalable estimator structures
  • Real-time operation under practical sampling, latency, and robustness constraints
  • A path from simulation-grade methods to deployable estimation cores

Distributed control and graph-based systems

Research and experimentation around distributed LQR, graph-structured control, spectral perspectives, and locality-aware coordination.

Topics of interest:

  • Local vs. centralized control trade-offs
  • Space-time sparsity of feedback gains
  • Cooperative coordination using only nearby information
  • Control laws informed by graph topology and propagation patterns
  • Scalable methods for large interconnected systems

Robotics and industrial automation

Applied work and academic development in industrial robotics, collaborative robotics, sensing, control, and automation workflows.

Typical interests:

  • Robot-cell design and safety reasoning
  • Collaborative workspaces and practical industrial constraints
  • Distributed or multi-agent coordination strategies
  • Architectures that bridge control theory and implementable systems

r-biblio-synth

A project for systematic literature review support, bibliometric synthesis, and research automation.

Goal: To reduce the friction between searching the literature, organizing evidence, generating structured outputs, and producing research-ready summaries.

Why it matters: Good research is not only about ideas. It also depends on disciplined pipelines for finding, filtering, structuring, and revisiting the state of the art.


Product and platform engineering

I also build full-stack applications for real users and real workflows.

Representative directions include:

  • LegalTech platforms with guided flows, payments, CRM automation, document handling, and scheduling
  • Operational dashboards for industrial or business processes
  • AI-assisted products that combine search, document workflows, automation, and structured decision support
  • Production systems where architecture, reliability, maintainability, and UX matter as much as shipping features

What I care about technically

I am especially drawn to work that is:

  • Rigorous enough to stand up to academic scrutiny
  • Useful enough to solve a real engineering problem
  • Reproducible enough that someone else can build on it
  • Well-architected enough to survive beyond a demo

I care a lot about the gap between interesting ideas and serious implementations. That gap is where I like to work.


Open to

  • Research collaborations in control, robotics, power systems, and scientific computing
  • Technically demanding full-stack or platform engineering work
  • Projects involving benchmarking, experimentation, and reproducible engineering pipelines
  • Conversations around future graduate research, especially in distributed control and intelligent systems
