Working as a Research Student Assistant on a V2X project, leveraging AI and deep learning with the inD and rounD dataset to predict vehicle movements and detect potential collisions. Also building an LLM-powered assistant to provide real-time collision alerts and suggest safer, more efficient routes.

Implementing autonomous driving system with a reinforcement learning–based controller and perception. Developed a custom C-to-RISC-V Vector Extension with intrinsic functions transpiler to accelerate perception and control workloads. Deployed the system on embedded hardware (HIL: Hardware in the loop) with ros2, with perception running on NVIDIA Jetson Nano and control on the Canaan Kendryte K230, communicating via Ethernet. Validated performance in the CARLA Simulator

Teaching Assistant for “Advanced Topics in Robotics,” leading exercise sessions and supporting students in implementing robotics algorithms. Worked on KUKA robotic arm kinematics (forward and inverse) and implemented localization and filtering modules in ROS Humble.

Collaborated with a cross-functional team at Hako GmbH on two projects during my internship. Design of sensor configurations for a cleaning robot with a focus on safety (ISO 13849), integrating bumpers, LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors, and cameras. Integration and optimization of the Cartographer SLAM system on a real robot, improving navigation performance by tuning parameters and modifying the ROS node to dynamically fuse landmarks into the map.

(Project contract) I worked as an automation engineer responsible for making processes programs and commissioning on site for a cement factories.

Improvement and automation of an industrial system. The project involved migrating an existing industrial system from hardwired logic to programmed logic using a Siemens S7-1200 PLC. The goal was to convert a manual machine into a fully automated system. My responsibilities included studying the existing wiring, designing an updated electrical scheme in AutoCAD Electrical, developing the control program in TIA Portal, and creating the HMI (Human-Machine Interface) for operator control.
