About
Robotics software engineer with hands-on experience building ROS2-based distributed multi-robot systems, including task allocation (distance cost matrix) and navigation using Nav2/DWA. Previously on Vicarious’s grasping team, implementing real-world box-picking with vacuum suction and force/torque sensing plus recovery behaviors. Also brings strong engineering hygiene with Gazebo simulation, Dockerized deployments across offices, and GitHub Actions CI/CD with unit/integration testing.
