About
I'm a robotics and mechatronics engineer who owns machines end-to-end: mechanical design, embedded systems, and the software that runs them.
I started at Q-Bot, an award-winning built environment robotics startup, and spent seven years there across three promotions: installation technician to robotics engineer to design engineer, ending as technical lead of the company's 5-axis robotic rendering system and personally running the BBA certification testing that qualified its underfloor insulation method. From 2022 to 2025 I owned the iOS and Android release cycles at Florence, a healthcare shift platform with 250,000+ active users. Alongside that I've co-founded two hardware products, KH Tech's Impact Pro ball machine and now VARK's wheel-module platform, and deliver Drooli, a commercial recipe app for Dog's Lounge, under my JJKSoftware banner.
Career
2015 – 2022
Installation Technician → Robotics Engineer → Design Engineer — Q-Bot
