Robotics: Infrastructure Officer

Over the past two years as Infrastructure Officer, my goal has been simple: make the lab easier to build in, harder to break, and more fun to experiment in.

I’ve focused on three core things:

  1. Reliability.
    From maintaining our lab equipment and 3D printers to improving documentation and access systems, I’ve worked to ensure members can focus on building robots — not troubleshooting infrastructure.
  2. Scalability.
    As the society grows, our systems need to grow with it. I’ve improved organisation of tools, streamlined processes for project teams, and made our technical resources more sustainable for long-term use.
  3. Enablement.
    I’ve aimed to lower the barrier to entry for new members while supporting advanced teams with the tools and space they need to push ambitious projects.

If re-elected, I want to:

  • Further professionalise lab systems and safety processes
  • Improve onboarding so new members can get building faster
  • Expand our digital infrastructure (documentation, version control practices, shared resources)
  • Continue building a lab culture that is organised, collaborative, and technically ambitious

Robotics at Imperial should feel like a real engineering environment. I want to keep building the foundation that makes that possible.

I’d love your support to continue strengthening the backbone of the society.
