About

Robotics software engineer with extensive ROS2 experience building and integrating full autonomous navigation stacks (sensor fusion, ICP/occupancy-grid mapping, planning). Hands-on computer vision work for drones, including monocular depth-from-RGB pipelines (Open3D/OpenCV) and model swaps to improve low-light performance. Also experienced in multi-drone coordination with Crazyswarm2 and Vicon-based state estimation, plus Gazebo simulation for TurtleBot, Franka Emika, and a Lunabotics-style excavation rover.

Key Strengths

  • Integrated monocular camera calibration with deep-learning depth pipeline for drone navigation
  • Debugged vision depth-map artifacts (propellers in view) using OpenCV masking
  • Improved low-light depth performance by switching models (ZoeDepth to DepthAny3)
  • Built multiple ROS2 packages (sensor fusion, ICP mapping, occupancy grid mapping, planning) and integrated into an autonomous navigation stack
  • Diagnosed ROS2 latency/message compatibility issues using rqt and RViz communication visualization
  • Improved SLAM localization accuracy by replacing complementary filter with EKF for state estimation
  • Multi-drone coordination experience using Crazyswarm2; improved state estimation by moving from Flow deck to Vicon
