I'm a passionate roboticist and software engineer who takes a systems approach to robotics to create platforms that can perform efficiently, effectively, and robustly in real world conditions.

• In my doctoral research at the GRASP Laboratory (University of Pennsylvania) I studied underactuated, modular, reconfigurable, aquatic systems for ocean research and monitoring.
• In my professional career I write software for real-time control and path-planning for mobile robots and manipulators.

         

My main project at the GRASP Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania was the Modboat, underactuated single-motor robots that are capable of modular self-reconfiguration and energy-efficient ocean monitoring. Modboats run on a stack of:

• Embedded code: ESP32 processor programmed in C++
• Offboard planning code: Python software stack handling motion capture and planning for the robot.

Most of my work is hidden in private organizational repositories. If you want to see samples, shoot me a message or an email and I'm happy to share what I can.

• I do C++ development of real-time, often multi-threaded systems with an emphasis on efficiency and speed.
• I work extensively in ROS2, Linux, and Docker.
