Systems & Hardware
Architecting reliable, scalable physical systems.
Systems Architecture
I specialize in designing robust physical computing systems that bridge the gap between software and the real world. My approach focuses on reliability, fault tolerance, and clean architecture.

Systems I've Owned
Over my career, I've taken ownership of several systems end-to-end:
Lab Monitoring & Analytics Pipeline
Data collection, processing, and visualization for semiconductor lab operations. Includes automated issue tracking and trend analysis dashboards. → Field Issue Analytics Dashboard
Opto-Mechanical Imaging Module
Image processing and computing components within semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Responsible for troubleshooting, calibration, and coordination with R&D on improvements. → Applied Materials Experience
Robotics Simulation & Control Stack
Motion planning and control algorithms for multi-agent systems. Simulation environments for algorithm development and validation. → MSc Thesis Research
Automation Alert Pipeline
Real-time monitoring and escalation system for critical lab events. Rules-based filtering with configurable notification channels. → Urgent Alert System
Failure Case Narratives
Designing for failure is critical in robotics and hardware systems. Here are examples of how I approach edge cases:
Implementation of brown-out detection interrupts to save critical state to EEPROM before full power loss, ensuring rapid recovery upon reboot.
Power Loss Recovery
Graceful shutdown and state persistence
Kalman filter adaptations that detect sensor freeze or drift, automatically degrading to a model-based estimation until the sensor is reset.
Sensor Decoupling
Handling sensor failure
