About

Engineering student with hands-on robotics and simulation experience: led an Arduino line-following “Batmobile” robot project used as a K–12 teaching tool and won best design in a 100+ student section. Also implemented SARSA reinforcement learning for a 16-DOF robotic hand in MuJoCo, optimizing the state representation to train efficiently on a CPU, and brings strong cloud/container skills (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS certs).

Key Strengths

  • Led end-to-end build of an Arduino-based follower robot (software + physical design) for K-12 teaching use
  • Won best robot design in a section of 100+ students (design selected via student polling)
  • Applied SARSA reinforcement learning to a 16-DOF robotic hand task and reduced state space via fingertip (x,y,z) feature engineering
  • Improved RL training efficiency enough to train on a MacBook CPU in ~2 hours (avoided GPU need)
  • Hands-on experience deploying/orchestrating containerized microservices with Docker and Kubernetes
  • AWS cloud development experience backed by two AWS certifications
