I build legged robots and the control behind them. Pick a part.
I am a control engineer who works on robots: legged machines, a hexapod built for power-grid maintenance, and swarms of unmanned ground vehicles.
It started with hardware. My degree is in electrical and electronics engineering, and my first published work was a hexapod for inspecting power-system components.
The robots change, and the control problem stays the same: sense the machine, estimate its state, decide, and drive the actuators.
I am doing a PhD in control and instrumentation, and alongside it I take client work building software and data pipelines.
Education
Air Force Institute of Technology, Kaduna, Nigeria · 2018 – 2023
GPA 4.73 / 5.00. Best graduating student, Electrical & Electronics Engineering. Coursework ran through control theory, control engineering, signals and systems, reliability engineering, and neural networks.
Instrumentation
National Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics · 2022 - 2023
A heart-rate monitoring system for pregnant women, AVR architecture down to the ATmega328P, and research on a low-cost rover for weed management and irrigation. Later onboarded incoming interns onto the same hardware.
Research
e-Prime (Scopus Q1), 2024 · ICEIT 2023
A hexapod system built to inspect power-system components without sending a person to them. Published as a journal article and a conference paper, both co-authored.
Both papers, with citationsPractice
Python · TypeScript · C++ · MATLAB
Frontend engineering on shipped products, and the data side of the same problem: readings and exports moved off equipment and into tables a team can query.
Doctorate
KFUPM - Control & Instrumentation · In progress
Control for legged robots, hexapods and swarms of unmanned ground vehicles: how a controller keeps a machine, or a group of them, doing what the plan says.
Sense, estimate, decide, actuate, on legs and on wheels.
