Experience

  • Roboticist at Arcana Bytes
    Jan 2024 - Present · 2 yrs 6 mos

    I help small teams get up and running quickly with robots, drivers and other software projects before it makes sense for them to build out a full software or robotics team.

  • Senior Project Lead at Maneva AI
    Mar 2024 - Jan 2025 · 11 mos

    - Managing and prioritizing tasks for engineering team to ensure all projects remain on schedule - Ensuring strong communication between marketing, sales and engineering teams - Working with customers to understand their needs and distilling information to engineering - Explaining our technology to our customers and helping them make the most out of it - Prospecting for new customers and markets, refining our Ideal Customer Profile and go-to-market strategy

  • Robotics Researcher at Forcen Inc.
    Jan 2022 - Aug 2023 · 1 yr 8 mos

    Exploring and producing demos of robotics applications using Forcen's multi-dof Force-torque sensor.

  • Robotics Engineer at Armstrong Robotics
    Aug 2021 - Oct 2021 · 3 mos

  • Robotics Engineer at Realtime Robotics, Inc.
    Mar 2019 - Apr 2021 · 2 yrs 2 mos

    Realtime Robotics focuses on accelerating motion planning for robotic arms and allowing multiple arms to work safely in semi-structured environments with semi-structured tasks. My work involves at Realtime involves: - integrating new industrial robots to work with our software - developing our optimization framework which will allow users to specify their task and auto-generate efficient motion cycles for robots, while still leveraging our online planner when flexibility is required - developing and maintaining our run-time stack in modern C++
