Robotics Software Engineer | MS Robotics @ WPI (4.0 GPA) | Perception β’ Manipulation β’ Control
I build perception based control systems for autonomous robots that operate in unstructured environments. My focus is on deploying robust algorithms on real hardwareβnot just simulation.
Currently pursuing MS in Robotics Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a 4.0 GPA, I specialize in bridging the gap between computer vision and physical robot control.
