About

I am a Robotics Engineer passionate about building intelligent robotic systems using ROS2, Python, and C++. I enjoy solving real-world engineering challenges by developing scalable and reliable robotic applications. Recently, I have been working extensively with ROS2, focusing on Topics, Services, Actions, Parameters, and Gazebo simulation. I have gained hands-on experience in developing and deploying robotic solutions, debugging ROS2 communication, integrating robot behaviors, and solving real-time issues during deployment. My recent projects have strengthened my understanding of robot control, autonomous navigation concepts, and simulation-based testing. I am currently seeking opportunities as a Graduate Engineer Trainee (GET) or Robotics Software Engineer, where I can contribute to innovative robotic solutions while continuing to learn and grow in autonomous systems, ROS2, and industrial robotics.

Experience

  • Robotics Engineer at Kody Technolab Limited
    Jan 2026 - Present · 6 mos

    During my ROS Nav2 internship, I gained practical knowledge of the Robot Operating System (ROS2) and the Navigation2 (Nav2) framework. I learned how autonomous robot navigation works, including localization, mapping, path planning, and obstacle avoidance. I developed skills in configuring and launching Nav2 packages, working with sensors such as LiDAR, using RViz and Gazebo for simulation, and debugging ROS2 nodes and topics. Additionally, I improved my problem-solving, teamwork, and technical documentation skills by working on real-world robotics projects and troubleshooting navigation-related issues.
