“Early-career robotics engineer who has integrated LLM/NLP command interfaces (OpenAI/LLaMA) into ROS-controlled industrial manipulators and built data-driven controls for underwater soft robotic actuators. Combines hands-on fabrication (balloon actuator with embedded copper traces) with sensor debugging (IMU/Aurora) and simulation work in Gazebo, with practical exposure to edge deployment constraints on Jetson Nano and model quantization.”

“Robotics software engineer who contributed to an autonomous bartender robot (mobile base + ReactorX200 arm), owning manipulation/grasping, Gazebo simulation, and a YOLOv6 object-detection pipeline built from a manually collected/labeled dataset. Also handled system-level hardware bring-up integrating Raspberry Pi to ESP32 over micro-ROS on ROS2 Foxy, and has additional ROS package experience in EKF sensor fusion (IMU+GPS) and an autonomous disaster response boat.”

“Robotics software engineer with deep ROS2 experience who built a modular autonomous robotics stack (perception/sensor fusion, localization+mapping, and planning). Led development of a LiDAR+camera fusion and multi-object tracking pipeline (PCL + YOLO + Kalman filtering) and debugged real-time SLAM/localization issues via QoS/timestamp synchronization, EKF tuning, and SLAM Toolbox parameter optimization using Gazebo/RViz and rosbag replay.”
