Harsharan contributed foundational engineering to the WATonomous/wato_f1tenth repository, focusing on real-time robotics visualization and deployment workflows. He developed a Foxglove-based visualization node in C++ and CMake, enabling live display of the F1Tenth car’s position, orientation, and lidar data. To support scalable robot action development, he scaffolded a new ROS 2 action execution framework with initial structure and placeholder tests. Harsharan also refactored Docker-based build and deployment pipelines, improving dependency management and image composition. His work included targeted code cleanup, reducing maintenance overhead. The contributions demonstrated depth in robotics, ROS 2, and containerized build system management.

January 2025: Delivered foundational features and stability improvements for the WATonomous/wato_f1tenth project, enabling real-time visualization, scalable action scaffolding, and robust deployment workflows. The team emphasized user-visible value through operator-level visibility, rapid iteration capability for robot actions, and stabilized containerized deployments across environments.
