Akshit Gaur
Mid-level AI Engineer specializing in agentic LLM systems
“Built and productionized a dual-agent LLM invoice-processing system for GFI Partners, adding guardrails and audit trails to earn stakeholder trust and drive adoption while cutting operational burden by 75%. Uses LangSmith observability to diagnose real-time workflow regressions and has experience teaching agentic AI concepts (e.g., at Carnegie Mellon) through hands-on, scaffolded demos.”

Akashleena Sarkar
Junior Software Engineer specializing in robotics and real-time distributed systems
“Robotics software engineer focused on low-compute navigation/SLAM: built a 6-DOF SLAM validation pipeline (IMU + 2D LiDAR + ultrasonic) producing ~1cm OctoMap accuracy and deployed it on an Intel Atom by optimizing particle-filter SLAM with a greedy max-likelihood update. Deep ROS 2 experience (executors, composable/lifecycle nodes, QoS, timestamping) plus simulation and deployment tooling (Gazebo C++ plugins, Docker, CI/CD, ROS 2 build farm) and drone navigation work with MAVROS/PX4.”
Ho-Wei Lu
Junior Robotics Engineer specializing in motion planning and control
“Robotics software engineer who built a ROS2-based ping-pong ball interception system on a 7-DOF Sawyer arm, spanning real-time vision, trajectory prediction, and an MPC joint-velocity controller to hit a flying ball within ~1 second. Demonstrated strong real-time debugging and systems integration skills (timestamp-based latency analysis, event-based redesign, ROS2 QoS tuning) and is currently working with Isaac Sim in Docker with GitHub-based CI/CD for assembly-task simulation.”
