About

Early-career robotics engineer who has integrated LLM/NLP command interfaces (OpenAI/LLaMA) into ROS-controlled industrial manipulators and built data-driven controls for underwater soft robotic actuators. Combines hands-on fabrication (balloon actuator with embedded copper traces) with sensor debugging (IMU/Aurora) and simulation work in Gazebo, with practical exposure to edge deployment constraints on Jetson Nano and model quantization.

Key Strengths

  • ROS node development integrating LLM/NLP commands with robotic arm URDF
  • Hands-on robotics simulation and kinematics/coordinate-to-command translation
  • Underwater soft robotics actuator fabrication plus control development
  • Sensor debugging/tuning for stability using IMUs and Aurora probes in underwater settings
  • Awareness of edge deployment constraints; applied model quantization to address Jetson Nano memory limits
