About

Robotics software engineer focused on real-time teleoperation and high-quality robot-learning data pipelines, including synchronized multimodal sensing (RGB-D, tactile, joint states) for Diffusion Policy training on a bimanual ALOHA robot. Strong ROS practitioner who debugs real-time control issues with ROS tooling and builds simulation environments in Isaac Lab and PyBullet; also packages data-collection stacks with Docker.

Key Strengths

  • Multimodal sensing synchronization for robot learning datasets (RGB-D, tactile, joint data)
  • Built shared-memory, timestamped buffering with interpolation and strict write ordering
  • Developed visualization tools to validate sensor alignment (contact events vs camera frames)
  • ROS integration and real-time control pipeline development (services, pub/sub, tf, state publishers)
  • Methodical real-time debugging using ROS tooling (rqt_graph, rostopic hz) and joint-command logging
  • Improved teleoperation smoothness by fixing timing mismatch between IK output and motor command node
  • Simulation-based training environments in Isaac Lab (bimanual pick-and-place) and PyBullet (biped walking)
  • Packaged teleoperation/data-collection stack with Docker
