  Summer Research Intern

  As a research assistant intern at ITE-FORTH in Greece, I delved into the field of graph SLAM, which formed the basis of my bachelor's thesis. This experience provided me with invaluable international exposure, allowing me to collaborate with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds in a Robotics lab setting. By applying machine learning techniques, particularly using Scikit-learn in Python, I enhanced the scan-matching algorithm, showcasing my adept problem-solving skills. Moreover, my adaptability and quick grasp of challenging concepts were evident as I seamlessly transitioned into different work environments and collaborated with colleagues of varied expertise. I presented my research findings both at a thesis defense and a summer conference, underscoring my passion for innovation and continuous learning. Throughout, I was commended by peers and supervisors for my friendliness, hard work, and dedication to personal and professional development. Show less

  Handi-Fuel

  May 2023 - Aug 2023

  Software Engineer

  As a part-time co-op software engineer, I developed an auto-fuel system aimed at assisting individuals with disabilities at gas stations. The project involved creating a robot arm that automatically pumps fuel into cars. Leveraging the Arduino platform, servo motors, wifi antennas, and custom 3D printed components, I successfully built the embedded system using C++. Despite constraints such as limited time, funding, and resources, I managed the project diligently. The prototype was demonstrated to local individuals with disabilities, earning the Most Significant Social Impact Award in a university-wide startup competition. Working in a team of seven, I contributed by distributing tasks effectively and prioritizing deadlines. The project was completed within a tight timeframe, showcasing my proficiency in problem-solving, analytical thinking, time management, and creativity within an agile and collaborative environment.
