Robotics. Software. AI.
I'm a robotics engineer working at the intersection of physical autonomy, computer vision, and applied AI. Based in Boston.
By day, I write surgical robotics software at Globus Medical on their flagship ExcelsiusGPS and ExcelsiusFlex platform: spine fusion, deformity correction, cranial DBS, total knee arthroplasty. When the system runs, there is a patient on the table.
On the side, I'm building Metrux AI, an honest way to interview engineers in the age of Claude Code and Cursor. If you're hiring, it's a signal you can defend to your team. If you're an engineer, it's a way to find out where you actually stand, and to prove it.
Before that, I built the Robotics & AI department at Ideal Institute of Technology from zero (9 engineers, 10 paying customers, $300K in months) and co-founded a defense AI startup selected for DRDO's Technology Development Fund at INR 10 crore before COVID forced us to sunset.
MS in Robotics, Northeastern University. BTech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, NIT Surat.
