About
University Rover Competition autonomous-systems lead who architects and debugs a full ROS 2 autonomy stack (Nav2, vSLAM, EKF fusion) and backs it with strong engineering hygiene (Docker + GitHub Actions CI running headless Gazebo and colcon tests). Also has industry-facing ROS 2 hardware integration experience, building a ros2_control plugin for a Unitree G1 arm using CycloneDDS and optimizing real-time behavior via QoS tuning.

Key Strengths
- Leads intelligent systems team for autonomous rover (URC) and defines ROS architecture (topics/pubs/subs)
- Built CI/CD with GitHub Actions to build Docker workspace, run colcon tests, and execute headless Gazebo sims on PRs
- Deep ROS 2 performance debugging via QoS tuning (shared memory, best-effort) to resolve Nav2 stuttering/timeouts
- Hardware integration in ROS 2 (ros2_control plugin) for Unitree G1 arm using CycloneDDS
- Simulation enablement by converting rover CAD to URDF to get Gazebo working
- Designs distributed rover/base-station comms for low bandwidth (local compute, minimal telemetry, compressed video)
Reference Highlights
- Strong fundamental programming skills
- Quick to learn new technologies
- Adaptable to changing needs
- Responsive to urgent project needs
- Able to ramp up robotics software knowledge quickly with experience

Yan-Liang Chen
Junior Robotics Systems Engineer specializing in autonomous planning and control
“Robotics software engineer focused on autonomous surface vehicles, specializing in dynamic collision avoidance and regulation-compliant navigation. Extended ROS2 Nav2 by implementing a Velocity-Obstacle-based safety filter (as a DWA critic) and encoding COLREGs, plus built an end-to-end Gazebo+ArduPilot SITL stack and a ROS2 bridge translating Nav2 commands to ArduPilot for real-world deployment.”
Reuben Georgi
Mid-level Robotics Engineer specializing in autonomous systems, planning, and perception
“Robotics software engineer with hands-on experience delivering autonomous pick-and-place: built a depth-camera perception pipeline for tiny (15–20mm) parts using YOLO+SAM segmentation feeding Open3D ICP/RANSAC pose estimation and validated it end-to-end with ABB YuMi/RobotStudio. Strong ROS 2 integrator (Nav2, SLAM Toolbox, MoveIt2, Behavior Trees) who has debugged real TurtleBot3 odometry/latency issues and redesigned system architecture to improve reliability.”
Jills Babu
Junior Mechatronics Engineer specializing in robotics, embedded systems, and safety-critical automation
“Robotics software engineer who worked on NYU’s Medi Assist robot, owning navigation sensor bring-up (LiDAR/radar/IMU) and SLAM stability, plus delivering a safety-critical braking system. Built a YOLOv8 perception pipeline on Jetson Nano and wrote STM32 firmware to actuate brakes, achieving ~50ms reaction time, and implemented diagnostics/health checks and reliable inter-board comms (ROS2 + UART with checksums/heartbeats).”
