Summary
I take inspiration from the way natural systems evolve and refine themselves, adapting to their environment through learning and iteration. I see design in the same way — constantly changing, improving, and revealing new possibilities through every prototype and failure. That philosophy drives me to design robotics that are not only functional but resilient, elegant, and responsive to the world around them.
