I am leading the software team at AIS for BigTop project, an autonomous UGV for moving pots in nurseries. Since I started leading the team, BigTop gained 47% performance improvement and moved from a prototype to a commercial product in terms of reliability. Selected tasks and contributions:- Plan, organize and roadmap the work that the team tackles following Agile methodology (using Jira)- Experienced in the entire software development lifecycle, from design to implementation… Show more I am leading the software team at AIS for BigTop project, an autonomous UGV for moving pots in nurseries.

I developed an indoor localization system based on UWB range measurement for BigTop robot at AIS. This localization system solved one of the major challenges of the product and led to the rapid progress of the project towards commercialization.Selected tasks in this project:- Provide a high accuracy trilateration result using optimization methods - Self-localization of system anchors - Time-division multiple access (TDMA) over UWB channel to have multiple localization systems at… Show more I developed an indoor localization system based on UWB range measurement for BigTop robot at AIS.

I was the control designer and lead of the software development group. Our goal was to implement object detection, motion planner and controller modules for a quadcopter equipped with a cutter to harvest bell-peppers. I succeeded in developing an optimal controller (MPC) for the imbalanced quadcopter with centimeter accuracy and lead the team to meet the deadline for delivering the MVP (minimum viable product).Selected responsibilities:- Plan the Sprints and run Scrum methodology for… Show more I was the control designer and lead of the software development group.
