I'm a robotics software engineer focused on autonomy, learning-based control, and sim-to-real deployment. My work has included state estimation, computer vision, planning, control, and reinforcement learning.
- Sim-to-real reinforcement learning for dextrous manipulation
- Multi-sensor fusion for localization
- ROS2-based robotics system development
ARMoR: Arm-Based Robot Mobility on a Passive Platform via Reinforcement Learning of Contact-Driven Locomotion
- Built simulation-first robotics pipeline with URDF modeling in Isaac Sim
- Trained RL policy for arm-driven mobility and dynamic stabilization
- Deployed trained policy to hardware
Led development of a full GNC stack, including:
- Motion planning and navigation
- EKF + MCL localization using LiDAR and wheel odoemtry
- ROS2 integration with NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano for offboard compute
