About

Hiring Robotics Engineers! Apply Here - https://origin.tech/career Research, Robotics and everything in between. On a mission to automate the hardest problem for robotics - Construction. 12T$ Industry and an Economy Multiplier, dependent on a massive workforce, notorious for safety issues and cost overruns. I've worked 8+ years at early stage startups in deeptech covering areas of robotics, imaging and optics, precision automation, analog sensing and materials science to build products/solutions that automate humans out of the process. At Morphle Labs - Led and built hardware teams. We've shipped 100+ sub-micron resolution automated microscopy systems across the world (2021-2024) and built the world's first Robotic Microtomy System - A machine that cuts a thin slice (4um) of tissue and places it on a glass slide, which automates a 2 century old process performed on ~100s of millions of samples a year. At Wrig Nano-Systems - Worked on analog electronics based biosensing platforms - developed a novel AI + Impedance Electroscopy method for hematocrit correction. Plant Automation Design for disposable manufacturing at the millions/day scale. Used my own blood for experiments and sensor development. Cool things I did at college - - Soccer Playing Robots, participated internationally at FIRA - High Speed Imaging Micro-Fluidics Research @ Purdue, TU Darmstadt and IITKgp - Best All Rounder Technology Awardee by the College for participating and winning a ton of competitions.
