Bridging the gap between the industry and research world to help bring robots to the AI revolution! Built data processing pipelines and training infrastructure for robot learning (diffusion transformers) to solve real-world customer tasks.

First author of ICRA research paper for precision agriculture addressing the counting and mapping of trees in forests and orchards by providing ground-truth diameter and semantic labels for over 1,800 trees

Thesis: Multi-Modal Deep Learning NeRFs for 3D Reconstruction of Tree Branching Factors Analysis

Research Areas: Deep learning, semantic segmentation, and LiDAR-inertial odometry

Built robots that were deployed for underground platinum mining in South Africa. Worked on motion planning, control systems, SLAM, and ROS for our highly versatile robotic platform.

Robotics HW/SW integration at Perception Robotics, then after we were acquired by OnRobot I worked on robotic grippers and embedded systems. Traveled to Automatica 2018 in Munich and IMTS 2018 in Chicago as our technical trade show coordinator.

Flight software (C++) for satellite telemetry and embedded Linux drivers for avionics modules, and Monte Carlo simulation tools for satellite control algorithm failure analysis.
