About

Robotics software engineer with ~7 years of ROS/ROS2 experience spanning Mars rover simulation/navigation, robot arm integration (URDF/MoveIt/ros2_control), and medical magnetic actuation systems using RGB-D feedback. Built a 5-DOF CNC-like magnetic capsule navigation prototype end-to-end and has deep hands-on skill debugging real-time control issues (CAN, encoder timing, controller tuning) plus PLC/Modbus-to-ROS2 integration.

Key Strengths

  • End-to-end robotics prototyping (hardware + firmware + high-level autonomy)
  • Strong ROS/ROS2 integration experience (URDF, MoveIt, ros2_control, navigation stack)
  • Methodical real-time debugging using message inspection, logging, and targeted tests
  • Diagnosed control instability caused by encoder feedback latency vs controller frequency
  • Cross-system integration (PLC/Modbus-TCP to ROS2 with QoS and rate matching)
  • Algorithmic approach to path generation (e.g., Bresenham, lemniscate equations) with parameter tuning

Reference Highlights

Strongly Recommended
  • Strong understanding of ROS and how it works
  • Extensive hands-on robotics simulation experience
