About

Robotics software/ML engineer who led an end-to-end transformer-based real-time 3D shape prediction system for a tendon-driven continuum robot on a KUKA arm, including ROS2 multi-camera RGB-D data collection, multi-view calibration, and optimized ICP point-cloud registration. Also optimized an online sensing + motion planning loop for robot-assisted surgery using Bayesian Hilbert maps and A* search, and has Gazebo + RL experience for a robotic salamander.

Key Strengths

  • End-to-end robotics ML pipeline ownership (modeling, training/eval, ROS2 data collection, hardware validation)
  • Real-time multi-sensor synchronization and logging in ROS2 (heterogeneous stream alignment)
  • Point-cloud fusion pipeline development (multi-view calibration + optimized ICP registration)
  • Strong experimental rigor (comparisons vs LSTM and feedforward baselines)
  • Optimization/debugging of online perception-planning loops to meet cycle-time constraints
  • Cross-domain robotics experience (continuum robots, manipulation in clutter, robot-assisted surgery, RL in simulation)
