About
Robotics/embedded platform engineer who led compute provisioning and ROS2 platform development for a smart electrical panel, building a full ROS2 stack that bridges mobile app requests (via AWS IoT/MQTT) to signal-level CAN commands and returns telemetry/logs to the cloud. Demonstrated strong full-stack debugging by resolving flaky CAN traffic down to a custom PCB transceiver standby-pin grounding issue, and improved real-time behavior by refactoring middleware into C++ with timer-scheduled publishes to meet firmware watchdog expectations.
Experience
Education
Key Strengths
- End-to-end ROS2-to-firmware bridging (AWS IoT/MQTT to CAN and back)
- Built multiple production ROS2 nodes (CAN interface, telemetry, logging, MQTT bridge)
- Cross-team API contract alignment with cloud and firmware teams
- Root-cause debugging across software and hardware (custom PCB CAN standby pin grounding fix)
- Performance optimization by refactoring middleware to C++ and using timer-based scheduling to satisfy watchdogs
- Tooling initiative: created a ROS health/diagnostics CLI tool (mos-wtf)
- Distributed/heterogeneous system integration across multi-computer compute module and cloud services (EC2/S3)
