“Master’s CS candidate with backend internship experience modernizing live operational workflows at NatWest/NetWess, focusing on reliability improvements, safer CI/CD deployments, and incremental refactors using feature flags and rollback paths. Built FastAPI-based APIs with strong security patterns (JWT + 2FA/TOTP, centralized authorization, RLS) and demonstrated attention to edge cases like idempotency and data consistency in a Netflix-clone project.”

“Robotics software engineer in an Autonomous Vehicle Lab building an end-to-end ROS 2 autonomous golf cart stack (sensor integration, SLAM, planning, and camera+LiDAR perception). Demonstrated strong systems-level debugging by fixing a FastLIO2 LiDAR timestamp/IMU-window issue that restored mapping quality, and stabilized real-time GigE camera perception by diagnosing backpressure and tuning ROS 2 QoS plus compressed transport.”

“Backend engineer with experience at Razorpay and Groww, focused on hardening high-throughput financial systems for reliability and low tail latency through incremental improvements (SQL/index tuning, Redis caching, timeouts, idempotency). Also built/refactored a commodity risk tracker using Supabase Auth + Postgres RLS for strict per-user isolation, with a strong emphasis on API contracts, observability, and safe migrations.”

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on AGV/AMR experience at ERIC Robotics, building ROS2-based LiDAR perception and localization on NVIDIA Jetson for real-time deployment. Improved unstable localization in challenging environments (e.g., tunnels/bushes along rail tracks) via scan-matching, filtering, and consistency checks, and cut latency by moving from rclpy to rclcpp and leveraging CUDA. Comfortable across the stack from simulation (MuJoCo/Isaac Sim/Gazebo, domain randomization) to deployment tooling (Docker, basic CI) and distributed ROS2/DDS systems.”

“Robotics software engineer focused on ROS 2 localization/SLAM: built a particle-filter (Monte Carlo) localization system in Python with likelihood-field modeling to handle noisy LiDAR and dynamic environments. Strong in debugging ROS 2 integration issues (tf2 frame sync, DDS/QoS message reliability) and in profiling/optimizing pipelines to reach real-time performance (~10 Hz) using precomputation and KD-trees.”
