Experience

I am a co-founder of a startup in stealth, building physical AI that connects AI agents with robots, scientific instruments, and other connected devices. My background spans robotics research and production systems, including planning, control, and teleoperation at Symbotic and robotic grasping at Berkshire Grey.

Startup in Stealth

Co-Founder
Oct 2026 – Present

Building physical AI that connects AI agents with robots, scientific instruments, and other connected devices.

Yale University

Research Affiliate
New Haven, CT, USA | Oct 2026 – Present

Research on agentic AI for robotics in collaboration with Prof. Na Li.

Harvard University

Robotic Lab Advisor
Allston, MA, USA | Dec 2025 – Present

I advise Prof. Na Li’s group on robotics, large language models, and coding agents. I review algorithm designs, scope projects, and mentor students on evaluating learning-based planning and control through reproducible experiments.

Symbotic

Senior Software Engineer (Symbot Control)
Wilmington, MA, USA | Aug 2024 – Sep 2026

I served as technical lead for teleoperation, coordinating with R&D and operations to deliver the system to production. I also designed and deployed control, navigation, and behavior-planning algorithms for autonomous mobile robots in automated warehouses. I owned the architecture and reliability of real-time embedded C++ control software and motor control, and partnered with deployment and field teams to bring releases to customer facilities.

Senior Software Engineer (Minibot Routing)
Wilmington, MA, USA | Oct 2022 – Aug 2024

I built multi-agent path-planning and coordination algorithms in C++ for concurrent robot fleets operating under strict real-time latency requirements. I improved robot robustness through control design and state estimation, and tuned system performance against fleet-level KPIs in production warehouses.

Berkshire Grey

Senior Software Engineer
Bedford, MA, USA | Oct 2021 – Aug 2022

On the pick team, I led the unknown-SKU effort, enabling robots to grasp previously unseen products (ROS, C++, Python). I reduced communication and end-to-end system latency by reworking the inter-process communication and execution pipelines.

Rudolph Technologies

Software Engineer Intern
Tewksbury, MA, USA | Jun 2015 – Jan 2016

I built an automated migration tool that consolidated several legacy codebases onto one platform, and improved the accuracy of wafer-defect data through algorithmic changes to the collection and analysis pipelines.

Neusoft

Software Engineer Intern
China | Jul 2013 – Aug 2013

I developed a map-management system with efficient insert, delete, and update operations over geographic datasets.
