About
Answering five core questions about my engineering focus and trajectory.
Robotics & AI Engineering Student — Monash University
Who I Am
I am a robotics and artificial intelligence engineer focused on the design of long-lived autonomous systems. My work sits at the intersection of robotic autonomy, environmental perception, and systems engineering, with an emphasis on technologies that operate in remote, resource-constrained environments.
I approach engineering from a systems perspective: integrating sensing, decision-making, and physical execution into coherent architectures. This philosophy underpins both my academic work and independent projects, including the Standard Template Construct (STC) initiative.

The STC Project
The Standard Template Construct (STC) is a long-term engineering initiative aimed at preserving, generating, and deploying robust infrastructure designs for use in remote and extreme environments. It integrates environmental analysis, autonomous planning, modular engineering knowledge, and robotic execution into a unified framework.
The STC reflects my broader research interests in autonomy, systems engineering, and planetary infrastructure. Each major project I undertake contributes a subsystem to the STC, allowing it to evolve incrementally while remaining grounded in real engineering constraints.
