I’m a designer, researcher, and technologist building tools, interfaces, and experimental systems at the intersection of artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, hardware, and product design.

Protobench is an agent-native development environment for designing physical products.

It explores how AI agents can help people move from an idea to an integrated mechanical, electrical, and computational system. The long-term goal is to create a unified environment where agents can generate, inspect, test, and refine CAD models, electronics, firmware, and product documentation.

Protobench is built around the belief that hardware development should become as fluid, iterative, and accessible as modern software development.

Opus is an experimental wearable interface that translates digital and emotional context into haptic sensations.

The system combines wearable hardware, biosensing, spatial haptics, contextual AI, and an emotional haptic language. It investigates whether information can be felt through the body rather than continuously displayed on a screen.

Kavya is an ambient AI research and note-taking environment.

Instead of treating notes as static documents, Kavya treats them as living material that can be continuously organized, connected, questioned, and developed by an AI system. The project explores how an intelligent research environment might quietly work alongside a person without demanding constant management.

• Human-AI interaction
• Agent-native software
• Ambient and adaptive interfaces
• AI-assisted hardware development
• Physical computing and haptic interaction

I studied Industrial Design at the University of Houston’s Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design.

My background spans product design, UX, interaction design, electronics, software prototyping, research, and technical writing. I use these disciplines together to investigate new relationships between people, intelligent systems, and physical objects.

I am also the founder of OpusLABS, an independent design and technology practice focused on experimental products and emerging interfaces.
