ABOUT

Experienced in mechanical engineering, robotics, embedded systems, and full-stack web development. I design and build industrial IoT solutions, cloud-backed web apps, and reliable automation systems — focused on pragmatic, maintainable engineering.

Full‑Stack & EmbeddedIndustrial IoT

With two decades of experience in mechanical engineering, robotics, software engineering and full-stack web development, I bring a practical and multidisciplinary approach to complex problems. I am certified in areas spanning mechanical engineering, robotics, and embedded systems.

As the Owner/Operator of Blackrock Design, I build and maintain web applications using modern stacks including Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and AWS. I also prototype embedded solutions with ESP32/ESP8266 and C++.

I enjoy collaborating with clients and teams to deliver user-focused interfaces, reliable systems, and maintainable software. My work spans enterprise web apps, industrial automation, and research-oriented projects such as machine vision and autonomous systems.

I am passionate about continuing to learn, contributing to open-source, and applying engineering discipline to build safe, scalable, and efficient systems.
