About

Robotics software engineer focused on production-deployed industrial automation, owning robot behavior end-to-end across integration and production support. Has hands-on experience coordinating multiple robots with PLC safety, conveyors, and vision, using state-machine orchestration, deep debugging (logging/I-O tracing), and performance tuning to achieve stable run-at-rate operation. Also builds ROS/ROS 2 distributed systems in C++/Python and tunes DDS/QoS for reliable multi-machine communication.

Key Strengths

• Stabilizing production-deployed multi-robot systems integrated with PLCs, conveyors, and vision
• Designing deterministic, fault-tolerant robot logic using explicit state machines, handshakes, timeouts, and recovery paths
• Root-cause debugging of intermittent real-world failures via structured logging and I/O tracing correlated with PLC/sensor data
• Performance optimization to hit production rate (motion path optimization, reducing blocking waits, tuning accel/blending) while maintaining safety
• ROS/ROS 2 multi-node integration across machines with DDS/QoS tuning to improve reliability and latency
• Methodical validation through run-at-rate testing and fault-injection scenarios
