Work Experience

> Career Path
Building the Future of Mobility

Currently at DLR (German Aerospace Center) developing camera-LiDAR sensor fusion with Extended Kalman Filter for the uShift urban mobility project. Also at CARISSMA building a Python + Open3D tool for real-time 3D pouch cell volume measurement using four Intel RealSense D435 cameras. Previously completed a Master Thesis at Akkodis benchmarking YOLOv8, RT-DETR and HOG+SVM on TurtleBot3, achieving 88.7% mAP.
