Vetted Gazebo Professionals

“Robotics software engineer who built the perception-to-planning pipeline for an autonomous bipedal robot: synchronized and fused 3D LiDAR + multiple depth cameras in ROS1 (tf2/message_filters) to produce combined point clouds and 2.5D maps, then implemented and benchmarked A*/D*/RRT plus hybrid A* footstep planning in simulation. Also founded a software company and personally owned CI/CD, security checks (CodeQL), and release automation (custom release bot + Slack notifications).”

“Founding Robotics Research Engineer at Streamline Robotics building precision-agriculture automation: integrated FANUC + PLC harvesting with a Farm-ng Amiga (Jetson) platform using ROS2 Visual SLAM for GPS-free greenhouse navigation. Developed real-time YOLOv8 tomato detection/ripeness estimation for selective harvest and configured Cognex D900 3D inspection, plus redesigned FarmBot Genesis XL and built an automated imaging/labeling pipeline for growth tracking and adaptive watering.”

“Robotics software engineer with competition experience (eYantra agricultural automation) building a simulated drone workflow in Gazebo to detect strawberry boxes via YOLO, pick them with a custom gripper, and autonomously navigate/stack at a truck destination. Strong in ROS2/PX4/Nav2 integration, real-time control debugging (IMU filtering + PID tuning), and planner parameter optimization validated through RViz and log-driven testing.”

“Robotics software engineer who led an energy-aware persistent monitoring project on TurtleBot4/ROS2, building the full stack from simulation and motion control to an energy consumption model and control algorithm implementation. Developed custom ROS2 Python nodes (battery + cmd_vel logging), integrated with Nav2, and handled multi-robot coordination via DDS while troubleshooting network/QoS issues. Also built and tuned a human-aware navigation behavior using Gazebo-based testing and data-driven threshold optimization.”
