As the Head of Applications Engineering at Mujin, I lead the team that bridges the operational gap between development and production. We handle the reality of the floor: unpredictable conditions, rigid tolerances, and the absolute requirement of system uptime.​My career is rooted in early-stage robotics and building Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) foundations. In those environments, edge cases are the standard operating procedure. That background shaped my philosophy to design resilient systems and not let mistakes happen twice. By designing repeatable deployment frameworks and rigorous SOPs, I have successfully reduced installation timelines from several months to less than a week. This allowed faster revenue generation and provided a better user experience. ​If you are in industrial automation, manufacturing, or scaling teams that must perform in the field: let's connect.
