At the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), I engineered a real-time autonomous navigation system using RPLIDAR A2, Raspberry Pi 3B+, and STM32 Nucleo to generate live 2D occupancy maps. I implemented A Star, Dijkstra, and Bug1/Bug2 path planning in Python, and reduced simulation loop runtime by 96.5%.
My robotics projects include a GPS-denied drone SLAM pipeline with RTAB-Map and Nav2, and a C++20 inverse dynamics engine for a 28-DOF humanoid robot. At EXP Makerspace, Northeastern University, I supervise daily makerspace patrons, troubleshoot machine faults, and lead training in CNC, waterjet, and welding.
