Experience
2025–present
Software & Autonomy Division Lead
Team Interplanetar, BUET
Leading rover autonomy system design for ARC 2026 and ERC Remote 2025: Jetson Orin compute, ZED 2i stereo vision, RTK GNSS, ODrive and SteadyWin drivetrain control over CAN, with ROS 2, CycloneDDS and Nav2 above it.
Rover systems
2026
Autonomy & digital-twin development
Built Unity↔ROS 2 and ArduPilot SITL simulation loops, working through QoS profiles, clock synchronisation, failsafe behaviour, latency budgets and motion stability in autonomy pipelines meant for real hardware.
Simulation
2025
Competitive robotics
Fourth place at NSAR v1 with an antweight battlebot. Won Project Siuuu, the BUET soccerbot competition, through mechanical design and real-time control.
