I am a highly motivated R&D engineer and roboticist with +5 years of experience in developing innovative medical devices. I love creating. I always have. It started with Legos and culminated into robotics. It began with computer games and transformed into coding. Today, I am now a biomedical engineer, patent holder, and co-inventor and creator of VeniBot, a robotic device to assist clinicians with blood draws and IV placements. My passion for engineering and the potential of what could-be are what drives me to create.

As a PhD researcher at Rutgers University, I have been developing a hand-held, robotic device capable of achieving safe and efficient venipunctures, known as VeniBot. During my 5+ years here, I have published multiple papers on this work, secured a patent for this technology, and have even led a first-in-human pilot study using robotic venipuncture for blood retrieval. The popularity of this technology has even gained media attention as well from articles such as Discover and Forbes magazine.
