About

Robotics software engineer with Stanford coursework and Georgia Tech research experience, focused on end-to-end autonomy for mobile manipulation and real-time planning under uncertainty. Built a ROS 2 LoCoBot system combining Gemini speech-to-text, YOLO-based RGB-D perception, navigation, and grasping with robust synchronization/TF fixes, and developed an information-theoretic UGV planner for radiological source localization validated via Monte Carlo simulation.

Key Strengths

  • End-to-end autonomous mobile manipulation integration on LoCoBot (perception→planning→control) using ROS 2
  • Real-time ROS 2 system reliability improvements (perception/planning synchronization layer with freshness thresholds)
  • Resolved TF frame inconsistencies by centralizing TF broadcasting and adding module handshakes
  • MoveIt/MoveIt2-based manipulation pipeline development and validation with RViz2 and Gazebo before hardware deployment
  • Information-theoretic UGV path planning for radiological zone mapping/localization using Fisher Information Matrix-based objectives
  • Validated planning approach via Monte Carlo simulations; outperformed random and grid-based sampling baselines
