Mechanical & hardware engineer
Pronounced koo-ma-raa-pan moo-to-ramen
I make complex engineering simple. With a great team, anything can be built.

Each case study covers what I owned, the decisions that mattered and the measured results.
An autonomous home robot, built from scratch
A home robot that maps the space with LiDAR and senses what happens around it through radar and ranging instead of cameras. I built the first complete robot alone in four months, then formed the team that builds its software.
A sub-4 mm neuro wearable, taken from R&D to production
A wearable that monitors blood flow to the brain continuously and non-invasively, in a package under 4 mm thick. I owned the hardware from system design to production and built the first 200 units in-house in two months.
TEMPLE raised $54 million in its first funding round in February 2026, at a $190 million valuation.
A complete blood count analyzer, from design to 50+ units in the field
A compact complete blood count analyzer that combines optical imaging, micro-volume fluidics and a precision scanning gantry in a 1 ft × 1 ft unit of about 5 kg. I led its design through production. More than 50 units shipped to hospitals and labs, at 10× lower cost per test.
High-density muscle sensing through one shared amplifier chain
A wearable for high-density surface EMG that routes every channel through one multiplexed amplifier chain instead of one chain per channel. The first prototype has four electrodes, and I am expanding it to 8 channels. I own the analog front end, the flex PCB and the electrode-array enclosure.

I build companies the way I build machines: prototype fast, then make it work in production.
An autonomous home robot that maps a home and senses what happens in it, without cameras or wearables.
A hardware startup building high-precision 3D printers, motion systems and automation for industrial customers.

Experience
Two startups of my own, three medical-device companies, and research at the University at Buffalo.
Building an autonomous home robot. Built the first complete robot alone in four months, then formed a five-person team. I lead hardware and the five-unit pilot build.
Analog front end, flex PCB and electrode-array enclosure for a multiplexed EMG wearable. The first prototype has four electrodes; I am expanding it to 8 channels. Advisor: Prof. Filip Stefanovic.
Run weekly robotic-arm workshops, from block coding on desktop arms to programming industrial arms.
Mentored 10+ student founders turning research ideas into manufacturable hardware products.
Took a sub-4 mm cerebral blood-flow wearable from R&D to production: injection molding, over-molding and ultrasonic welding with suppliers in China and Japan. Built and shipped the first 200 units in-house in two months.
Led design of a CBC blood analyzer through production: 50+ units shipped, 10× lower cost per test. Built an in-house syringe pump (0.1 µL) and a reagent filling line (4,500 kits a day).
Developed automated microscopy systems for cellular imaging, and designed slides and fixtures for repeatable cell counts.
Founded and ran a hardware startup building high-precision 3D printers and motion systems, from a PEEK printer for dental work to a print farm.
Technical skills
An electrical engineering degree, mechanical design in industry and a biomedical master's: I design the enclosure and the PCB inside it.
M.S. Biomedical Engineering
B.E. Electrical & Electronics Engineering
Teaching & community
Weekly hands-on sessions that move from block coding on desktop arms to programming an industrial arm, ending in a competition.
Mentored 10+ student founders on turning research concepts into manufacturable, scalable hardware.
Taught design, fabrication and additive manufacturing fundamentals through hands-on builds.
