About

Robotics software engineer who delivered the Lunar ROADSTER—an autonomous bulldozing rover for lunar terrain manipulation—building the control system, path planning, and perception in ROS 2. Implemented crater detection using a YOLO model fused with ZED stereo depth to recover crater geometry, and structured autonomy around ROS 2 actions integrated into an FSM with CI/CD-backed system testing. Also has industrial robotics experience controlling a Fanuc arm for additive manufacturing and building ROS interfaces for PLC I/O.

Key Strengths

  • Built ROS 2 planning and perception nodes for an autonomous lunar terrain-manipulation rover
  • Applied YOLO + stereo depth (ZED) to detect craters and estimate geometry in map frame
  • Designed ROS 2 action-based architecture enabling real-time feedback and FSM-driven autonomy
  • Integrated features via CI/CD with full system tests to improve reliability ahead of demo
  • Pragmatic real-time debugging under constraints (sensor latency/budget) using compensation strategies
  • Hands-on industrial robotics experience (Fanuc arm) including motion streaming and PLC I/O integration
