About

Robotics engineer/team lead who built an autonomous lunar rover for the NASA Lunabotics challenge, owning electrical systems, comms (UART/WiFi), and autonomy using RealSense + custom YOLO on a Jetson Orin Nano. Also has extensive ROS 2 experience, including creating a ROS2+Gazebo environment with ros2_control custom controllers for a large-scale additive manufacturing printer and research/thesis work in multi-robot coordination and robustness.

Experience

Robotics InternAdvanced Structures and Composites Center
Undergraduate Research AssistantHigh Altitude Ballooning Lab at UMaine

Education

University Of Mainebachelor, Computer Engineering (Honors); Minors in Math and Robotics
Indian Institute Of Technology, Madrasbachelor, Data Science and Applications

Key Strengths

  • Led autonomous lunar rover project (NASA Lunabotics) as team lead
  • End-to-end robotics architecture ownership (hardware selection + software architecture + implementation)
  • Deployed custom YOLO perception on Jetson with RealSense for obstacle/crater detection
  • Deep ROS 2 experience across real robot and simulation (Gazebo, ros2_control, RViz2, MoveIt2)
  • Diagnosed sim-to-real issues by inspecting ROS topics/telemetry and tracing latency bottlenecks
  • Improved real-time behavior by switching to an ultra-low-latency ROS 2 video streaming solution
  • Multi-robot coordination work (collision avoidance, handling robot failure via replacement robot)
  • Built custom ROS 2 + Gazebo environment and controllers for large-scale additive manufacturing printer
