👤 PERSONAL PROFILE

Hello! I’m a doctoral researcher in Computer Engineering with a strong background in Electrical-Electronics Engineering. My research over the past five years has focused on designing model-based controllers for nonlinear electromechanical systems, with a special emphasis on robotics and nonlinear control. I bring over eight years of experience in programming, research, and design, having worked on a diverse range of innovative projects.

I excel in C/C++, Python, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), and MATLAB/Simulink. My interests include Machine Learning and Embedded Systems. I am actively seeking opportunities to apply my skills in dynamic research or industry roles that involve cutting-edge projects and offer professional growth.
