About

Robotics-focused engineer from a senior capstone who built the backend motion-control software for a semi-autonomous line-following vehicle split across two ESP32s. Experienced in ROS 2 (DDS, lifecycle nodes, QoS) and in bridging microcontroller telemetry to a laptop ROS 2 stack over UART with custom structured protocols, using Gazebo simulation to tune PID and validate behavior before deploying to hardware.

Key Strengths

  • Embedded real-time motion control on resource-constrained ESP32 hardware
  • Debugged and stabilized PID-based line following by enforcing fixed-rate control timing
  • Built instrumentation pipeline (UART streaming) to visualize sensor/PID behavior and diagnose instability
  • ROS 2 proficiency (DDS, lifecycle nodes, QoS) with custom nodes for sensing and motion logic
  • Designed reliable microcontroller-to-ROS2 bridge over UART using structured/timestamped messaging and framing markers
  • Simulation-driven validation and tuning in Gazebo before hardware deployment
