Hi! I'm a robotics software engineer specializing in calibration for autonomous vehicles. My expertise includes multi-sensor fusion, state estimation, and real-time data processing across several modalities (lidar, camera, radar). I enjoy developing robust, high-performance C++ software for safety-critical applications.
