I am a software engineer working at the intersection of robotics, distributed systems, and developer platforms.

My work focuses on making robotics software more accessible, scalable, and easier to integrate with modern application ecosystems. For nearly a decade I have built and maintained open-source robotics infrastructure — runtime systems, middleware integrations, native extensions, and developer tooling — the layers other developers build their robots on top of.

• Robotics Middleware and Runtime Systems
• Robot Operating System (ROS 2)
• Cross-Language Runtime Integration (JavaScript / C++ / Middleware)
• JavaScript / TypeScript Platforms
• Distributed and Event-Driven Systems
• Release Engineering, Package Distribution, and Cross-Platform / ABI Compatibility
• Cloud and Edge Integration
• Open Source Software Development

I am the lead maintainer and top contributor of rclnodejs, a ROS 2 client runtime that enables JavaScript and TypeScript applications to participate as first-class ROS 2 nodes.

My contributions span architecture design, the native binding layer over the ROS 2 middleware (rcl / rmw / DDS), runtime integration, API evolution, release engineering, cross-distribution and ABI compatibility, and sustained maintenance across dozens of releases. I have also led its modernization — migrating the codebase to native ES modules, strengthening first-class TypeScript support, and extending ROS 2 beyond traditional robot applications through browser-based tooling, web-native APIs, and WebSocket-based connectivity.

Through this work I have helped bring ROS 2 capabilities to a broader developer audience beyond traditional robotics environments.

Sustaining a robotics platform across multiple ROS 2 generations has taught me to value compatibility, developer experience, and the long-term realities of platform engineering.

I enjoy working on the layers that connect complex systems together:

• Web-native robotics development
• Robotics platforms and middleware
• Runtime and systems engineering
• Cloud-edge robotics architectures
• Fleet-scale robot software
• Developer tooling and ecosystem design

Building the software layers that make modern robotics possible.
