About

Robotics software candidate who designed and implemented a hierarchical motion-planning and whole-body control pipeline for a 37-state Spot robot to traverse complex terrain, using Graph of Convex Sets for safe footstep selection plus optimization-based IK and nonlinear trajectory optimization for joint trajectories/contact forces. Strong in optimization-heavy robotics workflows (PyDrake, MATLAB/Simulink) and methodical debugging down to signal-level and numerical stability; has not used ROS/ROS2 yet.
