About
Early-career robotics software engineer with a couple years of ROS/ROS2 experience focused on agricultural mobile robots. Led integration of a Livox MID-360 3D LiDAR on the Farm-ng Amiga platform, patching ROS2 drivers/QoS and building a 3D-to-2D mapping pipeline so Nav2 could run reliable SLAM/navigation in GPS-denied greenhouse/hop-field environments, enabling stable autonomous row-following.

Key Strengths
- End-to-end autonomy stack integration (LiDAR → SLAM → Nav2) on a mobile robot
- ROS 2 reliability tuning for high-bandwidth sensors (QoS/message drop mitigation)
- Custom perception pipeline converting 3D point clouds into 2D costmaps/LaserScan for Nav2
- Systematic real-time debugging and iterative validation of SLAM/navigation behavior
- Distributed ROS 2 architecture design (on-robot real-time loops; remote RViz/logging) resilient to Wi‑Fi drops
- Simulation-to-hardware workflow using Gazebo/ros_gz_sim with SDF/URDF and bridges
- Delivered measurable field improvement: moved from manual teleop to stable autonomous row-following
