Robotics Software Engineer looking for contract position in robotics and embedded. My areas of expertise cover mobile and industrial robotics (ROS), robotic simulations, embedded systems, and computer vision. I have acquired practical skills from CERN, EPFL, Cyberbotics ( Webots company), and numerous side projects. I hold a master's degree in Robotics (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) and a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering.

Selected projects

A research project aimed to develop a calibration algorithm for a dual fisheye camera with lenses. The intrinsic parameters are of both cameras, as well as a rotation between the cameras, are determined using nonlinear least-squares optimization. Multiple approaches are evaluated to maximise accuracy and minimise correlation between determined parameters. In addition, a simple semiautomatic chessboard corner finding tool is developed to obtain data set from highly distorted images.

As a member of Memristor robotics club, we developed a software and firmware to control two mobile robots. The software provided an abstraction layer on of the hardware which allowed easy robot behaviour development. It utilizes a publisher-subscriber pattern and included pathfinding, LiDAR and Dynamixel support, inter-robot collaboration, CAN communication etc.

Together with other student, we tried to develop and push idea of web IDE for physical robots and online app store. The project has been called SpesRobo. I developed a simple JavaScript API for enables development and execution of an application for physical robot inside a web browser. The API interacts with embedded computer located in a physical robot and a custom protocol enables communication and command execution.

I have developed mobile and web applications called SpesDriver that helps future drivers to prepare their theoretical driving exam. Alone, I made REST API in Yii2 framework, designed MySQL database, developed Angular frontend and integrated I18N support. Today, the web application has over 20,000 users per month and mobile application over 200,000 installations. Also, I made a collaboration with local car schools which allows them to be advertised on my platform.
