Field robotics, embedded systems, and ruggedized hardware/software integration.

I am building a modular field rover as a systems-focused robotics project, emphasizing:

• Power integrity and fault tolerance
• Embedded safety and deterministic control
• Environmental exposure and serviceability
• Clear architecture and documented tradeoffs

This project is intentionally designed and documented as if it were an internal engineering program, not a hobby build.

• Swappable battery module architecture (tool batteries + sealed variants)
• MCU + Linux SBC split for safety and flexibility
• ROS2-based software architecture
• Power budgeting, ingress mitigation, and failure behavior

📁 Repository: ModularFieldRover
📄 Docs: Mission profile, system architecture, power budget
📊 Process: GitHub Issues, Projects (Kanban), milestones

The rover is designed for outdoor experimentation, payload testing, and systems validation in semi-structured environments.

• Safety over performance
• Explicit non-goals prevent scope creep
• Faults should fail predictably
• Documentation is part of the product

• Hands-on electronics and RC systems experience
• Comfortable with soldering, motors, batteries, and power systems
• Learning CAD (Fusion 360) and modern robotics software stacks
• Strong interest in rugged, real-world robotics

This repository and associated project exist to demonstrate:

• Systems thinking
• Technical discipline
• The ability to design, document, and execute complex hardware/software projects independently
