About

Head of Robotics at Orbital Composites who built the full ROS-based software stack ("OrbOS") for multi-robot KUKA-arm 3D printing of carbon-fiber composite geometries. Deep in motion planning and real-time control—created a pipeline to turn underconstrained toolpaths into optimal joint trajectories at massive command scale, plus redundant safety gatekeeping and a 250Hz synchronized robot+extruder controller. Has operated in a technical-founder capacity for ~6 years and values an engineering culture of openness, honesty, accountability, and high ownership.

Key Strengths

  • Built an end-to-end robotics software stack (OrbOS) on ROS for multi-robot 3D printing
  • Designed motion-planning pipeline to resolve underconstrained 5-DOF toolpaths into feasible/optimal joint trajectories at very large scale (hundreds of thousands of commands)
  • Implemented safety-focused redundant and diverse validation layers (independent kinematics checks + UDP command integrity monitoring)
  • Developed custom real-time ROS control orchestration syncing robot joint trajectories with extruder velocity at 250 Hz with desync interruption handling
  • Production-minded reliability approach using open-source foundations plus Docker/k8s orchestration to isolate failures in custom nodes
  • Operated as a one-person robotics software team while leading 4 mechanical engineers
