Senior Lead Software Engineer and Systems Architect at C2G / NWS GmbH
March 1, 2021 - Present
Responsible for the design, architecture, development, integration, and deployment of autonomous robotic systems for defense and security applications. Prototyped agentic AI workflows integrating LLMs with robotic software and cloud services for operational automation and decision support. Led end-to-end software architecture spanning mission computing, embedded robotics software, backend services, cloud infrastructure, and web applications. Directed migration of robotic software from ROS1 to ROS2 and developed proprietary ROS2 middleware for Unitree and AgileX platforms. Built navigation and mission execution using ROS2 and SLAM-based navigation, and implemented telemetry/monitoring/safety/reporting systems in Python and C++. Integrated and optimized YOLOv8 models on NVIDIA Jetson/Orin for real-time edge inference, including fine-tuning for monitoring and operational control. Designed scalable real-time infrastructure for communication, telemetry, and fleet management using Azure IoT
Industrial Software Developer at AUTEFA Solutions GmbH
January 1, 2020 - March 1, 2021
Completed final development phases of a legacy industrial control and warehouse automation system. Introduced Git version control and automated unit/integration testing in a production environment.
