Zahi Kakish

Worked on the bdaiinstitute/spot_ros2 repository to enhance plugin support and deployment reliability in ROS 2 environments. Integrated QtUiTools into the build system, updating the Dockerfile and installation scripts to enable seamless RViz plugin development and usage within containerized workflows. This improved both plugin usability and developer onboarding by reducing setup complexity. Additionally, addressed deployment issues by modifying the installation script to enforce root privileges with sudo, ensuring apt-get commands execute without permission errors. The work demonstrated proficiency in C++, Linux administration, and shell scripting, focusing on dependency management, build automation, and robust installation processes for ROS 2 projects.
