Worked on the pollen-robotics/reachy_mini repository, delivering over 100 features and nearly 50 bug fixes in six months to advance robotics software for hardware like Reachy Mini. Developed robust kinematics pipelines, camera subsystems, and motor control APIs using Python, C++, and Rust, integrating technologies such as GStreamer and FastAPI. Enhanced backend reliability and developer experience through static typing, CI/CD, and code refactoring, while supporting both simulation and real hardware. Focused on maintainability and scalability, the work included camera calibration, torque-based motor control, and improved app management, resulting in a stable, extensible platform for robotics development and deployment.

Nov 1, 2025November 2025: Delivered a robust camera subsystem, GStreamer-based capture, and API/app improvements that enhance hardware compatibility, reliability, and release velocity for pollen-robotics/reachy_mini. Highlights include camera specs and resolution handling with Reachy Mini VID/PID support and fallback, multi-backend GStreamer camera integration with reliable initialization flows, Mujoco camera resolution and calibration support, and strengthened testing and typing foundations. Also advanced app scaffolding and API ergonomics (motor naming, torque controls) with improved templates and documentation. Key reliability work addressed camera lifecycle release, head upright verification after FK, and Mujoco integration stability.
