maintainable code and a deep understanding of the importance of system reliability.\\ +\indent In my recent role as a Researcher ML Engineer at the \schoolName, I conducted in-depth data collection, diagnosis and analysis to identify key correlations in latency and network bandwidth. +This experience in real-time environments helped me develop a solid foundation for programming, deploying and optimzing systems under various operational conditions. +My prior work as a Software Developer on an Assistive Robotic Feeding System in ROS2 required on-the-spot troubleshooting of hardware-software integration issues, as well as coordinating with microcontrollers and sensors (ESP32, PIR) in a Smart Door application, to deliver a stable automated experience. +Additionally, my experience as an IT Analyst entailed reading electrical schematics, configuring rirewalls, and modernizing network infrastructure-further sharpening my problem-solving abilities.\\ -At the Robotics Institute, I contributed to the development and deployment of a Node.js and PostgresDB backend system on AWS EC2 for an accessibility application, which was part of a research conducted at the institute. -This
