Spearheaded the development of full-stack internal tooling and dynamic web dashboards aimed at improvingcross-team collaboration and project transparency, utilizing modern frameworks such as TypeScript, React, andTailwind CSS to deliver clean, responsive UIsEngineered secure user authentication flows and backend APIs to manage internal documentation access,real-time telemetry monitoring, and vehicle system logs, enhancing data accessibility and operational oversightCollaborated with the perception team to build and deploy ROS-integrated camera nodes capable of streamingreal-time visual data from forward and downward-facing cameras, enabling visual situational awareness for AUV.Implemented computer vision pipelines for object detection and tracking, supporting key mission tasks such asbuoy identification and gate alignment during autonomous underwater navigationDesigned and fine-tuned closed-loop control algorithms that leverage fused sensor data from the DopplerVelocity Log (DVL), Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and camera input, improving pose estimation accuracyand path-following performance in complex environments.Contributed to the architecture and implementation of a modular, Python-based ROS perception stack thatsupports mission planning, sensor data processing, and high-level control logic for autonomous vehicle behaviorAssisted in the development and tuning of PID controllers responsible for trajectory tracking and motionstabilization, enabling the vehicle to dynamically adapt to environmental disturbances and visual feedback.
