About

Robotics software engineer focused on ROS2 motion and calibration systems—built a trajectory generator/low-level controller using TOPPRA that improved robot motion speed by 11x while increasing accuracy. Experienced making high-frequency robot communication more real-time (core isolation) and shipping ROS2 modules via Docker-backed CI/CD, including serving as release manager coordinating reviews, release notes, and QA.

Key Strengths

  • Built ROS2 trajectory generator/low-level controller improving motion speed 11x and accuracy
  • Real-time ROS2 optimization via CPU core isolation to stabilize high-frequency communication
  • Systematic debugging approach (bottom-up modular testing) to isolate packet loss and fix via bandwidth settings
  • Developed production-scalable robot/sensor calibration capturing inherent robot error and sensor TF to base
  • Release manager for CI/CD pipeline; managed incoming requests and resolved pipeline failures
