About
Robotics software engineer who owned the end-to-end navigation stack for a mobile manipulation robot (Cone-E), integrating ZED-2i SLAM into a real-time occupancy grid with live obstacle avoidance, A* planning, and lookahead control. Strong in real-time debugging and stability improvements (goal snapping/locking, obstacle persistence, rate-limited replanning) and validates changes on hardware, supported by simulation (Gazebo/Webots) and Docker/CI-based testing.

Key Strengths
End-to-end ownership of a robotics navigation stack (mapping, planning, control, visualization)
Robust SLAM-to-navigation integration with frame consistency and noise mitigation
Stabilized goal behavior via goal snapping/locking to prevent oscillation near targets
Real-time performance debugging using logging/visualization to isolate latency and frame-alignment issues
Design of resilient navigation behaviors using obstacle persistence/inflation and rate-limited replanning
Validated autonomy improvements on real hardware with closed-loop drift/return-home checks
Distributed/heterogeneous robotics communication design with pub-sub, message contracts, timestamps, and non-blocking control paths
Simulation-to-hardware workflow using Gazebo/Webots plus Docker and CI for reproducible testing
