Uses

I use ROS 2 Jazzy to connect, run, and debug the software nodes on my robots.

I use SLAM Toolbox to build maps from LiDAR scans and tune reliable loop closure.

I use robot_localization to fuse wheel odometry and IMU measurements into stable motion estimates.

I use TF2 to model coordinate frames and diagnose transform timing across the robot.

I use RViz2 to inspect maps, sensor streams, odometry, and transforms while testing.

I am learning Nav2 to give my mapped robots dependable autonomous navigation.

I use ESP32 boards for real-time sensor acquisition, motor control, and telemetry.

I use a Raspberry Pi 3A+ as the compact Linux computer coordinating my robot stack.

I use the YDLidar X2 to capture planar range scans for mapping and obstacle sensing.

I use the MPU6500 to measure angular velocity and acceleration for state estimation.

I use wheel encoders to calculate distance and wheel odometry during robot motion.

I use C++ for embedded firmware and performance-sensitive robotics components.

I use Python for ROS nodes, engineering scripts, experiments, and test automation.

I use TypeScript to build dependable web interfaces and developer tooling.

I use Codex to investigate codebases, implement focused changes, and verify results.

I use Kimi to reason through long technical contexts and compare implementation approaches.

I use Cursor for AI-assisted editing, code navigation, and rapid development feedback.

I use GitHub to publish my projects and collaborate through issues and pull requests.

I use Git to keep engineering changes traceable, reviewable, and safe to revise.

I use Ubuntu as the primary operating environment for ROS 2 and robotics development.

I use Windows for daily software development, testing, and hardware toolchains.

I use TCP sockets to move structured sensor telemetry reliably between robot computers.

I am learning how planners, costmaps, and controllers produce safe autonomous motion.

I am exploring how robots combine sensor data to understand objects and environments.

I am exploring how software agents can plan, implement, and validate engineering work.
