About

Robotics software engineer focused on autonomous eVTOL operations, including simulated autonomous ship deck landing using ROS2 Humble with perception (AprilTags) and motion planning under aircraft dynamics constraints. Has hands-on experience with multi-robot coordination, SLAM sensor-fusion fixes, and distributed robot networking (LTE + VPN), plus embedded data capture on Jetson AGX Orin and advanced control methods (MPC/CBF, differentiable learning).
