Developed simulation-based workflows for a nonlinear excavator, delivering an Isaac Sim RL environment and a CasADi-based nonlinear MPC Python implementation to demonstrate controller behavior and task-oriented demos.

Researched and trained a dual-pipeline RL navigation system for the Unitree Go2 focusing on perception-driven obstacle avoidance and prepared a draft manuscript on a dual-pipeline RL architecture.

Integrated perception sensors and built a ROS 2 Navigation2 stack with SLAM and human-awareness features for a care-robot platform, enabling mapping and YOLOv8-based human distance detection.

Contributed to a hospital digital twin by developing a simulator, integrating ESP8266 IoT sensors with Azure cloud pipelines, and creating Unity3D visualizations for patient flow and equipment status.

Developed an urban traffic monitoring system combining vehicle flow and radar data on NVIDIA Jetson, implemented real-time TCP ingestion, Qt visualization, and device calibration simulation for edge compute workflows.

Maintained and developed Windows C++/C# applications for high-throughput satellite signal transmission and reception from FPGA simulators, including database pipelines and real-time visualization dashboards.

Developed vehicle detection and analytics modules for a large-scale Qt desktop security application, migrated web features to the desktop client, and implemented protocol reverse-engineering and data serialization.

Pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering with focus on Internet of Things and Information and Communication Technologies at Savonia University of Applied Sciences since August 2023.
