Led end-to-end deployment of industrial automation solutions by developing production-ready software, communication interfaces, and simulation-based validation workflows, bridging R&D prototypes to customer manufacturing environments.

Designed and integrated custom Python- and PLC-based (Beckhoff, Allen-Bradley) solutions to incorporate third-party hardware, advance proof-of-concept systems, and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver scalable, high-quality factory automation.

Led development and integration of critical robotic subsystems in production environments, working across software, systems architecture, and operations to address performance and reliability constraints. Partnered on architecture enhancements, including stateless system design, reducing system throughput time by ~21% and cutting system downtime by ~90% per month.

Supported deployment and integration of robotic systems at customer sites, ensuring reliable bring-up and handoff. Built internal tooling for system testing and reliability, and delivered customer-facing demos and technical support.

Owned QA, automation, and provided software support for next-generation robotic systems. Built automated test pipelines, reducing testing downtime by 80% and improving system reliability and handoff.

Worked on real-world robotic manipulation systems, translating simulation-based learning into deployment on a 7-DOF robotic arm using ROS. Developed and evaluated learning-driven grasping strategies and system-level performance boundaries to improve grasp reliability in physical environments.
