Worked on the MIT-SPARK/Awesome-DCIST-T4 repository, delivering features that advanced robotics planning, natural language understanding, and system monitoring. Developed and integrated NLU capabilities using ROS and RViz, enabling operators to interact with robots through natural language instructions. Enhanced configuration management by introducing YAML-driven workflows and improved documentation for onboarding and network visibility. Upgraded planning domains to leverage GPT-4.1-based models and region-based PDDL, supporting more reliable automation. Focused on maintainability by updating submodules, standardizing data logging, and aligning dependencies. Used C++, YAML, and Markdown to implement features, emphasizing reproducibility, modularity, and traceability across multi-environment deployments without major bug fixes.
