“GEODNET engineer specializing in edge-to-cloud, real-time GNSS data pipelines at global scale (thousands of heterogeneous base stations). Built deterministic-latency ingestion with RTCM/MSM normalization, jitter buffering, and firmware-aware parsing, and shipped production hotfixes using canary rollouts and deep observability. Also delivers customer-specific GNSS/RTK outputs via tested Python tooling (CLI/API) and collaborates on-site with operators to resolve firmware and network-driven issues.”

“Robotics/embedded candidate who built an end-of-studies restaurant waiter robot using Raspberry Pi 5 + ROS 2 Jazzy with Arduino Mega motor control and an ESP32-based table call button system. Implemented sensor nodes (LiDAR/ultrasonic/IMU), SLAM mapping with slam_toolbox, and navigation with Nav2; overcame major odometry calibration issues using EKF filtering and validated behavior in Gazebo before deploying to the real robot.”

“Remote game QA tester with PlayStation and Xbox testing experience, using Jira to track bugs and create test case reports while collaborating directly with development teams. Has tested titles/projects including Valorant, Roblox, and Unity 3D games, and has self-studied Microsoft XR certification requirements.”

“Built and supported a production analytics backend (Python, PostgreSQL/Teradata, Airflow) powering KPI/reporting dashboards, and resolved peak-time latency/timeouts through systematic SQL tuning (EXPLAIN ANALYZE, indexing, query rewrites, pre-aggregations).
