About

Robotics software engineer with semiconductor wafer-handling automation experience at Mattson Technology, building C++ control software for ATM and vacuum robots coordinating through a load-lock (pressure/door/pump sequencing). Implemented multi-vendor communications with auto-detection across SECS serial and TCP/IP, and validated behavior using simulation + GUI animation, logging/sniffers, and hardware-in-the-loop testing; currently self-studying ROS 2.
