Grant Barnes

I've integrated more than 100 next-generation Alphabot robots into Walmart's automated fulfillment system through Apex Systems.

I test, diagnose, and optimize active robots using RCS and Gilfoyle, helping reduce downtime in a high-volume environment. I work closely with engineers and technicians to troubleshoot issues and document solutions.

I designed and built a fully autonomous methane-sensing rover for landfill emissions monitoring, collaborating with an industry partner on robotics and automotive integration. As Manufacturing Engineer, I developed the manufacturing schedule, reviewed CAD and drawings, and led hands-on fabrication.

I bring mechanical engineering and computer science training to robotics, product design, CAD-based manufacturing, and software projects, including a Godot town-building simulation built with GDScript.
