Robotics and Machine Learning Research Engineer

Hello, and welcome to my portfolio site! Here, you can find an overview of my background, projects, skills, experience and research. I am a robotics and machine learning engineer who has worked in various software development environments with custom hardware and commercial robotic systems for over seven years. I have experience implementing industrial robots from various manufacturers, including Universal Robots, Rethink Robotics, and UFactory. While developing these systems, I've been involved in developing real-time control (RTC) modules, computer vision (CV) applications, actuator integration, and high-level behaviour algorithms. I also incorporated machine learning aspects into these projects, including supervised instance-segmentation algorithms for computer vision and reinforcement learning for collision-rich motion planning algorithms.

My interests lie in algorithms that teach robots to operate in complex real-world scenarios. While pursuing these passions, I have published and presented robotic research at several international conferences, including ICSR, CASE, and ICRA. I have also received several awards, including several local and international accolades. In addition to my work, you can find articles summarising my experience on various aspects of robotics and deep learning. These articles include approaches for robotics development, concepts or algorithms I've felt like writing about, and any knowledge I think is worth the occasional reference. Please feel free to explore the site, and if you have any further questions or comments, you can contact me using the links provided in the footer.
