“Robotics software engineer with Amazon Robotics internship experience who built a visual-servoing architecture from scratch, navigating multiple simulator pivots to achieve a closed-loop motion-planning and execution prototype. Currently working with ROS 2 on a medical assistive feeding robot using the Kinova Kortex platform (MoveIt2, ros2_control, Gazebo/RViz), and has demonstrated strong real-time debugging and distributed-system synchronization using Carbon and Docker.”

“Seed-stage startup engineer owning features end-to-end across full-stack development, DevOps, rollout, and post-launch maintenance. Built data ingestion and evaluation workflows for an LLM data-quality platform using Next.js, MongoDB, Postgres, and GCP Pub/Sub, with a strong focus on reliability, caching, and pragmatic performance improvements.”

“Robotics software engineer who delivered the Lunar ROADSTER—an autonomous bulldozing rover for lunar terrain manipulation—building the control system, path planning, and perception in ROS 2. Implemented crater detection using a YOLO model fused with ZED stereo depth to recover crater geometry, and structured autonomy around ROS 2 actions integrated into an FSM with CI/CD-backed system testing. Also has industrial robotics experience controlling a Fanuc arm for additive manufacturing and building ROS interfaces for PLC I/O.”

“Aerospace propulsion engineer at Pratt & Whitney who tackled legacy infrastructure bottlenecks by leading a grassroots effort to codify discipline standard work into modular Python packages and stand up a Git/Jenkins CI/CD pipeline for production-grade deployment across programs. Deep experience with C-based gas turbine aero-thermo and control-system simulation/verification (including Simulink-based control development), now motivated to pivot into fast-moving robotics/AI environments.”
