Building smart electric trailers — turning trailers into intelligent energy infrastructure.
Founder and CTO of Elementrailer, where I'm building smart electric trailers for safer, more efficient commercial fleets. My work focuses on the embedded systems, distributed control, and regenerative-braking strategies that let a trailer carry its own propulsion and energy.
My background sits at the intersection of mechanical engineering, embedded real-time control, and power electronics — the layer where firmware meets the physical world. I publish where the work moves the field forward, and I patent where the work needs protecting.
