Robot Software Development

• Designed and implemented a custom robotics operating system to replace ROS, including core infrastructure such as coroutines/async frameworks, distributed state management, and low-latency inter-process communication with LMDB and Cap’n Proto.

• Developed station verification capabilities, enabling the robot to check its position and accuracy throughout the day to ensure consistent performance on large-scale job sites.

• Added support for printing arcs in addition to lines, text, and points, expanding the robot’s on-site layout capabilities.

• Built functionality for printing QR codes on construction sites to support job tracking and information sharing.

• Built visualization and rendering pipelines for dynamic SVG generation, ensuring scalable rendering of multi-shape images with accurate geometric bounding boxes.

Leadership & Cross-Functional Contributions

• Coordinated Dusty’s summer intern program (2022 & 2023), mentoring students, defining project scopes, and ensuring integration of contributions into the production codebase.

• Collaborated with hardware, product, and field teams to deploy reliable robotics software to active construction environments.

• Responsible for maintaining and optimizing the drone’s onboard flight system using ROS

• Path planning and obstacle avoidance using the A* search algorithm

• Localization and mapping

• Building drone simulators with Gazebo for flight testing

A 5-months internship allowed me to do research on the relationship between the driver's biomedical response and driver's operation with a driving simulator setup.
