I build and deploy autonomous robots for real-world field operations.

Message

At EarthSense India, I build autonomous agricultural robotics systems, including the operator HMI for a fertilizer-spreading tractor and a teleoperation and remote operations center for outdoor mobile robots.

I designed the tractor mission-loop architecture across the HMI service, mission manager, and ROS2 bridge, and built monitoring that tracks robot health, ROS nodes, topics, and Docker containers—reducing field debugging time by 40%.

Previously at Peppermint Robotics, I developed LiDAR and camera perception pipelines, improved obstacle-detection robustness for customer fleets, and supported localization and 3D SLAM integration. I’m used to deploying robots in real environments, diagnosing failures, and feeding field findings back into the autonomy stack.

I also build perception and navigation projects, including stereo visual odometry with ROS2, OpenCV, and Intel RealSense, plus autonomous mobile robots for vehicle capture and vision-guided pick-and-place.
