Manipulation Lead at Clutterbot · Building the hybrid manipulation stack combining VLAs and classical motion control. Six years from AMRs, sortation systems to indoor dexterous robots for messy, unstructured environments.
Over the past six years, I've worked across the full stack of robotics systems — from low-level hardware control to high-level behavior and manipulation. From classical controlles to VLAs and RL policies. I started my journey working on autonomous mobile robots, focusing on navigation, control, and large-scale deployments internationally.
More recently, my work has centered around robot manipulation — designing and building hybrid systems that can handle messy environments but still work reliably.
At Clutterbot, I've been leading the development of the whole VLA pipeline for our robot including teleoperation rigs, data curation, RL finetuning and inference pipelines. A big part of my work involves doing extensive research and bridging gaps — between software, hardware, research and product. Large part of my time goes in reading latest papers and blogs to stay up to date on what is happening in the field. What excites me most is the possibility of what robots can achieve given all monumental interest from everyone in the field today.

Beyond the work
Love for hardware
Endlessly fascinated by low-level systems and the physical realities of robotics. I've spent a lot of time with real hardware and built an intuition for it — I'm the go-to person for hardware validation from a software and controls perspective. I like pushing the limits of what I'm working with, and sometimes end up breaking things.
Keeping up with the field
I read technical blogs and stay current with what's happening in robotics. Sometimes I get overwhelmed trying to see where I stand relative to the people pushing the boundaries of the field.
Building strong teams
One person can do a lot, but give them a good team and the effect multiplies. Working alone is easy and comfortable — building a high-performing team and real relationships with the people on it is what actually raises throughput.
