About Ninaad Damis

I am a Carnegie Mellon University graduate with a Master’s in Computational Design and a specialization in Robotics. During my graduate program, I gained extensive practical experience in designing autonomous systems by successfully completing coursework in Planning and Decision Making, Computer Vision, Deep Learning and SLAM. In my tenure as a Robotics Software Engineer at Tailos, I worked across various domains of the autonomy stack such as Motion Planning, Perception and SLAM to optimize the cleaning performance of our robot vacuum cleaner, Rosie. Prior to graduate studies, I worked as a Robotics Engineer at Barnstorm Agtech, an agriculture startup building autonomous robots for basic farm operations like tilling. As a founding engineer, I led the development of the ROS-based navigation stack, created Gazebo simulation environments for testing, and integrated various sensors and actuators into the embedded architecture. I am currently seeking full-time opportunities in Robotics and Machine Learning.Portfolio - https://ninaaddamis.github.io/
