Robotics Engineer at Starpilot who brought camera calibration benches to live use and set hardware pass/fail criteria.

Message

At Starpilot, I assembled and commissioned robot arms for camera calibration, then rebuilt a 7-DoF arm and reduced per-joint zero asymmetry to 0.01–0.05°. I also overhauled camera preparation into a single station the team adopted in its main calibration codebase.

I own the camera-IMU calibration bench’s pass/fail criteria and helped establish the first accuracy baseline for visual-inertial SLAM. At the Cyber-Physical Systems Research Group, I built an autonomous indoor-flight pipeline that became the base for the lab’s flight work.
