My Skills and Experience

My background is in Robotics with a concentration in motor control in conjunction with the Robotics Operating System (ROS).

I have worked for Amazon Robotics as a Robotics Project Engineer for almost 3 years, delving into numerous subdepartments to gain a holistic intuition for operation excellence in warehouse robotics deployment

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Skills --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

icon Mechanical: I am practiced in mechanical design with Solidworks as well as iterative prototyping with 3D printing, and general prototyping

icon Software: I am proficient in C++ and Python, specifically for electronics control (motors, sensors), and data processing (machine learning techniques)

I also have knowledge of Robotics Software from the following online course completions:

  • Udacity: Robotics Software Engineering (ROS, Gazebo, Localization, Mapping, Path Planning and Navigation)
  • Coursera: Advanced Computer Vision with Tensorflow (Object Detection, Image Segmentation)
  • icon Electrical: In my spare time I build robotics projects that utilize Arduino with motors and cameras, connected via the NVIDIA Jetson Nano in a Linux framework. See the Projects page for my example work.

    Managing Teams: I have work experience managing the day-to-day install delegation of contract teams for installing Amazon Robotics technologies in new Amazon warehouses across the country

    Project Management: I have deployed 5 Amazon warehouses as the site lead, keeping project milestones on time and mitigating blockers with a bias for action.

    Strategy and Logistics: In my role, I am a tech SME, for which I have written numerous whitepapers for suggesting project improvements for:

  • Contractor Perfomance Reviews
  • Budget Adjustments for 2024 Contractor Bids
  • Project Schedule Adjustments
  • Network-wide PSAs for workflow changes
