What I'm looking for

I’m interested in developing intelligent, scalable technologies for real-world applications, especially autonomous driving, smart mobility, and edge AI. I aim to contribute to cutting-edge engineering research that enhances efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

At ETS Montréal, I’m developing an autonomous UGV digital twin that synchronizes a physical vehicle with a simulated replica in Gazebo. My master’s research project uses ROS 2 for bidirectional real-time transfer between real and simulated systems.

During my internship at ETS – LACIME Laboratory, I analyzed an MLLM-based driving agent under different environmental conditions using multi-sensor simulation. I also contributed to a survey paper on foundation models for autonomous driving and co-authored a paper on an MLLM-based approach to driving in different weather conditions.

At Habemus!, I developed and deployed a remote air-quality monitoring system using LoRaWAN and environmental sensors. At Medtech in collaboration with Benten Company, I implemented a RASA dialogue-management system for conversations between a child and a smart doll.

My projects have also included image captioning, PCB design for an autonomous car, and a mobile-controlled photographic robot. I’m currently a Mitacs Globalink Mentor and an academic instructor teaching hands-on Microsoft Power Automate workflows.
