I believe the true purpose of Robotics is to accomplish tasks beyond human capabilities and therefore my work has always focused on developing systems that can facilitate the same. As a robotics software engineer at a warehouse automation company Vecna Robotics, I worked on developing, testing, debugging, and deploying warehouse robotic systems. Previously as an embedded developer in an aerial robotics-based start-up Drona Aviation, I worked on altitude and pose estimation for nano drones. Working in growing companies has taught me persistence, active collaboration, and teamwork. My work experience has allowed me to develop strong skills in developing and debugging robot software.

Along with my agile software development experience, I have also developed skills in robot planning and control through coursework and research projects during my masters. In one of the projects, I implemented a state-of-the-art estimation and planning algorithm for a physical human-robot interaction task, which was published in ICRA 2019 for which I was the second author [See Publications].

For my master's thesis, I independently developed a novel multi-robot task allocation and scheduling algorithm as a Graduate Student in Robotics Engineering Department at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I was working with Prof. Carlo Pinciroli at the Novel Engineering for Swarm Technologies (NEST) Lab. Thus my research experience has helped me gain valuable skills in understanding and implementing the latest research and finding novel solutions to robotics problems.

I am currently looking for full-time opportunities in robot planning and navigation in industrial automation applications. I am looking for an honest and equitable work environment where I can learn from my peers and grow together with the team. As a result, be a better developer, and work on practical problem statements which facilitate further research.
