Key Strengths

  • Integrated multi-device lab automation system (robot arm, balance, cameras) for live analytical chemistry environment
  • Methodical risk-reducing test strategy (manual validation before robot runs; incremental pick-and-place testing)
  • Robust production integrations using authenticated REST APIs with retries and error reporting
  • Strong cross-layer troubleshooting using logs/data/video to isolate root cause
  • Identified and resolved liquid handler under-dispensing by pinpointing a single failing channel and replacing tubing/syringe
  • Delivered 2–3x faster automated sample retrieval by optimizing pick order
  • User-centered delivery with scientists: MVP-first, iterative feedback, training and SOPs
