Jarolin Vargas

“Apparel product developer/sourcing manager at Linkwear Limited who led high-risk, low-MOQ launches (down to 50 pcs/style) by reverse-engineering samples into tech packs, aggressively vetting/negotiating suppliers, and managing production through QC and shipping. Demonstrated trade-risk hedging (Section 301) via parallel sourcing and hands-on supplier recovery by traveling to Wuxi to resolve a mill bottleneck.”

“Robotics-focused candidate with multiple university robotics projects (MTE 380, MTE 544) and ROS 2 (Humble/Galactic) experience spanning perception, navigation, and simulation. Built a vision-based line-following and retrieval robot using HSV filtering and homography, and debugged real-time PID overshoot issues via timestamping/rate-limiting. Comfortable with distributed ROS 2 architectures (Python perception + C++ control), DDS/QoS, Gazebo testing, and Dockerized deployment.”

“Frontend engineer in an insurance SaaS white-label environment who transformed a fragmented ecosystem of 100+ duplicated React repos into a scalable platform using versioned NPM libraries (CommonWeb/WorkflowWeb). Built a JSON-driven, multi-step quote and payment workflow in React+TypeScript with Redux-Saga for complex async orchestration and reliability (idempotency, retries, takeLatest). Delivered measurable impact: 35% bundle reduction, onboarding cut from weeks to days, and bug fixes propagated across clients in hours.”
