Inspired by: I am inspired by the idea that thoughtful engineering and human-centered design can restore independence and improve everyday life. My designs begin with understanding real human challenges and evolve through research, sketching, prototyping, testing, and continuous refinement until they become practical, manufacturable, and accessible solutions. I believe the most meaningful innovations are those that people can realistically build, afford, and use not just imagine.
Projects like PHAS reinforce my belief that impactful innovation is built through collaboration. Working alongside teammates with complementary expertise in engineering, electronics, software, and prototyping has shown me the value of combining different perspectives to solve complex problems. Together, we strive to create technologies that are practical, inclusive, and capable of making a meaningful difference in people's lives while contributing to a more sustainable future.
