Summary
Motivated Data Science student with hands-on experience in embedded and autonomous systems, including C++ development, Linux-based environments, and containerized software workflows. My work spans deploying ROS2-based autonomy software to embedded hardware, building developer-facing tools and GUIs, and validating performance through real-world testing. I’m known for clear technical communication, strong collaboration across teams, and a curiosity-driven approach to learning through experimentation and practical application.
