I am a Master's student at University of Pennsylvania. I am primarily engaged in computer vision and path planning projects in robotics, and am enthusiastic about autonomous robotic systems and sensors.
In my free time I love to explore the wilderness and go on hikes. I post my findings on YouTube and blog my experiences (links below!). On a fine winter weekend, you will find me at my home, sipping coffee, listening to good instrumental music or playing guitar (my newest hobby!).
Served as a SDE at Eaton Aerospace. Developed digitization ML tools for automated requirements assesment.
Worked on multiple line balancing, digitization, continuous improvement projects and 6-Axis industrial robots as a part of this project internship
Demonstrated Point to Line Iterative Close Point scan match on occupancy grid map. Particle Filter for state estimation and map localization. Pure pursuit for locomotion.
