“Performance marketer from Unilever with hands-on ownership of a sizable multi-platform paid media portfolio across Google, Meta, TikTok, and YouTube. Stands out for combining rigorous experimentation, LTV-based audience segmentation, and incrementality testing to improve ROAS, lower CPA, and restore growth when campaigns plateau.”

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on experience across reinforcement learning and ROS/ROS2, including a project teaching Boston Dynamics Spot to open a door by combining vision-based pose estimation with SAC-trained IK and a walking policy in MuJoCo. Previously built ROS Noetic control for surgical robots using RCM with MoveIt IK and achieved sub-0.02s latency via threading; also participated in a NASA ROS2 space simulation building rover teleop and sensor-driven mapping.”

“Robotics software engineer who built an end-to-end mobile manipulation platform (Franka Panda on a Clearpath Ridgeback) for a simulated-kitchen human-robot interaction study with natural speech commands, implemented in Python/ROS. Has hands-on experience integrating diverse sensors (RealSense, LiDAR, biosignals) with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, Hugging Face) and fine-tuning GPT-Neo, plus simulation (Gazebo) and modern deployment practices (Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD).”

“Technical Product Manager with hands-on experience shipping and running live free-to-play games (including Cartoon Network BMX Champions) across web and mobile, with exposure to Roblox and some console. Focuses on data-driven live ops—daily rewards, streaks, push notifications, and limited-time events—paired with A/B testing and funnel/retention analytics to improve engagement and IAP performance.”
