Experience

2025

PerPlant · Robotics Co-op ↗

  • Integrated ROS2 thermal/GPS field sensing in C++ and Python using OpenCV, NVIDIA Jetson, and MicroROS; redesigned a multi-camera fixture and translated farmer feedback into technical requirements.
  • Built computer-vision data-curation tooling using ROI filtering, detector embeddings, UMAP/HDBSCAN, and grouped splitting for representative annotation and evaluation batches.
2022–23

Harvard Microrobotics · Robotics Co-op ↗

  • Developed robot-operation interfaces using HTML/Flask, sockets, embedded C, and MicroROS.
  • Supported teleoperated and autonomous fleet workflows alongside planetary-gearbox design and subsystem integration.
2022

Raytheon Technologies · Innovation / Robotics Co-op

  • Drove an epoxy-automation project from a manual-process problem to a working UR5e, PLC, and Keyence vision system with modular CAD fixtures.
  • Gathered requirements across manufacturing and process stakeholders; the team estimated roughly $7M in potential ROI.
2019–21

DEKA R&D · Controls Intern

  • Built biomedical R&D test and traceability workflows spanning electrical, impact, and thermal testing, PID-controlled LabVIEW/Modbus instrumentation, and RFID/Python/SQL data capture.
  • Worked within FDA/clinical development and patient-safety constraints while supporting verification-focused engineering.
