I take ideas from first sketch to working hardware — across robotics, embedded systems, and AI. Today I'm Founder & CEO of Nearhuman, making micromobility safer with computer-vision safety kits.
About
I'm an entrepreneur and engineer driven by one idea: technology should solve real problems — whether that's helping someone regain mobility, making transport safer, or letting the next generation of engineers learn through robotics.
My work spans robotics, AI, and hardware engineering. I've founded and co-founded ventures across micromobility safety, assistive exoskeletons, educational robotics, and mission-critical remote control systems — and I like the messy early phase where something has to actually function before anyone gets excited about it.
Ventures
Four ventures across mobility safety, assistive tech, educational robotics, and remote infrastructure.
Redefining micromobility safety with computer-vision AI safety kits for e-scooters and electric mobility vehicles. Patent filed, prototype shipped for operator testing, and pilots progressing with leading operators and OEMs from the Bristol Robotics Lab incubator. Finalist for Innovative StartUp of the Year at the UK StartUp Awards 2026.
Visit NearhumanElectronics design and motion control. Worked extensively with the CAN protocol for brushless actuators and CAD modelling that contributed to an assistive exoskeleton for people with muscular dystrophy — tech-driven social impact.
Electronics & assistive roboticsA Kashmir-based robotics startup that began with delivery robots and pivoted toward educational and industrial robotics — building robotic learning platforms now used by universities and schools.
Educational & industrial roboticsCloud-based remote control systems for telecom sites near the Line of Control, where snowfall makes access impossible. Internet-connected hardware kept gensets — and connectivity — running in extreme conditions. The systems remain operational across Kashmir today.
Mission-critical remote infrastructureExperience & research
Research roles and engineering work alongside the companies — from assistive AI to industrial robots.
Developing an AI-powered switch with the NHS Bristol Centre for Enablement to help people with physical disabilities; a muscle- and reaction-tracking game system for physiotherapy; and robotics platforms (including a robot dog) now used in the Mechatronics Lab.
Researched swarm-drone applications for assisted-living environments and drone-docking technology using computer vision.
Built and enhanced software in C++, Python, and TRIO BASIC; designed algorithms for welding robots; and worked on the kinematics of parallel robots across software, mechanical, and electronics domains.
Developed an assistive robot dog for doctors and patients — leading CAD modelling, PCB design and power management, embedded programming, and actuator/controller integration over the CAN bus.
Also served as a PAL Leader (2022–23), supporting peers in academic skills from time management to presentation.
