Strong ROS 2 fundamentals with a systems-first approach—stabilizes robotic behavior by instrumenting, logging/replaying real data, and fixing timing/synchronization issues rather than treating failures as purely algorithmic.”

“Robotics engineer focused on simulation, modeling, and control, with hands-on sim-to-real experience from a soft, foldable “grasshopper” robot where friction/contact physics and servo dynamics drove real-world performance gaps. Built a ROS 2 voice-operated TurtleBot system integrating YOLOv5 + stereo depth for object picking with an attached arm, and debugged AMCL/SLAM to cut localization error from 10–13 cm to ~5 cm. Currently developing a quadruped in MuJoCo with a 3-layer control stack (RL + MPC + PD) and an RL training pipeline in JAX ahead of hardware.”

“Product-minded full-stack engineer with hospitality tech experience who owned and scaled a multi-region guest verification/check-in workflow (ID/passport scanning, OCR, and government submissions) and built internal tools that cut manual entry up to 80%. Also built a React/TypeScript + FastAPI RAG “second brain” with async ingestion workers and an event-driven e-folio email microservice hardened with idempotency and retries.”

“Master’s capstone at Stevens: conceptualized and helped build a cross-platform assistive mobile app for visually impaired users with currency detection (ML), voice-driven AI chatbot (OpenRouter), and a guided navigation video-call feature using a shared room code. Personally implemented Firebase login/sign-in, facial-recognition login, video calling, chatbot integration, and led integration/testing across the full app.”
