RailVision - Leading the design and implementation of a fully autonomous train operation (ATO) system by managing a cross-functional engineering team across robotics, simulation, and AI. Driving core architecture decisions in control systems, guidance, navigation, and optimization. Spearheaded the development of the recommendation engine behind EcoRail, a real-time driver-assist platform that provides fuel-efficient throttle and braking guidance to train engineers. The system integrates ROS-based components, autonomous navigation logic, sensor fusion, and remote operation capabilities, with real-time data streamed via cloud infrastructure for large-scale deployment and fleet management.

Nexus Robotics - Led the AI and robotics teams, overseeing architecture and development of autonomy, perception, and cloud control systems for autonomous agricultural robots. Directed cross-functional efforts across robotics, computer vision, and targeting systems to optimize weeding performance. Championed remote operations and cloud-integrated management tools to enhance reliability and scalability in real-world deployments.

Nexus Robotics - Managed a team of robotics engineers and contributed to the full-stack development of a full autonomous weeding solution. Led the design of autonomous navigation systems using ROS, with a strong focus on GNC, real-time control, sensor fusion, and targeting systems for precise field operations. Also supported the transition to remote operations and cloud-based fleet management to enable scalable deployment.

Nexus Robotics - Developed key robotics components for an autonomous weeding robot, including ROS-based control stacks, guidance and navigation algorithms, computer vision modules, and sensor fusion pipelines. Supported early-stage testing and cloud control integration, with a focus on system performance, positioning accuracy, and autonomous operation in unstructured environments.
