About
I have taught robots to anticipate where people will walk (two ICRA papers, 84 citations), shipped real-time 3D human pose estimation in digital health, and built multi-agent LLM systems that answer enterprise questions with guaranteed-correct SQL.
Today I am an AI Engineer at Waive Medical, building agentic automation for clinical workflows. Before all of it: competitive robotics, with 5 international titles across RoboCup and FIRA.
