About
Robotics software engineer/researcher with hands-on real2sim experience for deformable manipulation: led real-world data collection and diffusion policy deployment on an Aloha robot, then built a MuJoCo + Gaussian-splat digital twin with point-cloud alignment. Also brings 3 years of production software engineering experience, including Docker/CI/CD and a zero-downtime Blue-Green upgrade of a core API router, plus ROS/ROS2 work spanning autonomous vehicles and UR20 pick-and-place with MoveIt2.
Experience

Key Strengths
- Led real-world side of a real2sim robotics research project (data collection, policy training, hardware deployment)
- Root-cause debugging of diffusion policy underperformance by identifying dataset/setup mismatch despite low loss
- Hands-on sensor/camera setup correction plus image post-processing to match pretraining conditions
- Integrated ROS2 nodes with MoveIt2 despite poor documentation by adapting ROS docs and troubleshooting errors
- Improved RRT* planning latency from minutes to seconds via incremental replanning (next-10-steps approach)
- Designed and implemented Blue-Green deployment to upgrade a core API router with zero downtime and rollback safety
