Vetted Linux Professionals

“Robotics software engineer from Stanley Black & Decker’s autonomous team who built and deployed a ROS2-based model predictive control system for a commercial autonomous lawn mower, integrating real-time localization, Nav2 planning, and custom control under real-time constraints. Has hands-on field debugging experience (Foxglove, TF timing, covariance/noise tuning) to resolve issues that only appeared outside simulation, plus containerized deployment and CI/CD experience.”

“Robotics engineering intern and mechanical engineering master’s student who bridges hardware testing and ML/ROS2 software: built a PyTorch model to map motor test data across motor types using electrical specs (Kv/Kt/R/L) and validated it against new motors to meet strict torque/thermal accuracy targets. Also integrated CNN-based perception into ROS2 for real-time navigation and implemented MPC with time-synchronized multi-topic messaging to avoid stale-data control issues.”

“Solaris-focused engineer who has led production performance investigations using DTrace and implemented code changes that substantially improved runtime by removing redundant parsing. Participated in a data-center-exit lift-and-shift to cloud using Oracle GoldenGate for replication and LVM to duplicate the application platform, with some exposure to AIX/IBM Power (LPAR recovery with NIM, assisted PowerHA validation).”

“Full-stack engineer who has owned an operational reporting/dashboard product end-to-end—building a React UI, designing/implementing FastAPI services, and deploying/operating on AWS. Demonstrates strong performance engineering (Postgres query/index tuning using EXPLAIN ANALYZE) with concrete impact (reports reduced from tens of seconds to a few seconds) and a reliability mindset across observability, migrations, and resilient third-party/ETL integrations.”
