About
Robotics software engineer focused on autonomy for fixed-wing and quadrotor UAVs, with deep experience in planning and advanced control (geometric control, trajectory optimization, nonlinear MPC). Recently designed an energy-aware NMPC for an autonomous glider, building a custom simulation/visualization framework to tune reward formulations. Has hands-on field deployment experience integrating ROS with PX4, optimizing node architecture for zero-copy performance, and building heterogeneous robot comms using Zenoh.

Key Strengths
- Developed and deployed planning and control algorithms on real UAVs (fixed-wing and quadrotor)
- Designed energy-aware nonlinear MPC for an autonomous gliding plane
- Built a simulation framework to iterate on and validate reward/cost formulations
- Debugged PX4-ROS integration by abstracting NED↔ENU transforms via an interface node
- Reduced communication overhead using ROS containers with intra-process, zero-copy transport
- Implemented heterogeneous ground+aerial robot communication using Zenoh middleware
- Structured, modular debugging approach for complex middleware/topic abstraction issues
- End-to-end autonomy pipeline from Gazebo SITL to on-robot deployment using Docker for dependency management
