“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.”

“Master’s-trained music technologist and audio editor who works across Ableton, Pro Tools, Audition, and Premiere to deliver music edits and polished mixes for video. Has hands-on experience producing a music video with custom pacing/SFX integration and producing a history-focused podcast for 4A Alliance, including heavy dialogue cleanup and cutting multi-hour interviews down to YouTube-friendly runtimes.”
