  • As a Software Developer at Ocado, I focused on developing advanced software solutions using Python, SQL, Golang, and JavaScript, particularly in the realms of computer vision and robotic control. I enhanced the operational efficiency of robotic arms by implementing a reservation service that prevents collisions between robotic arms and grid robots. Additionally, I created and deployed an auto-resolving service for dropped items, which significantly reduced the need for human intervention by 53%. I led a comprehensive initiative aimed at decreasing item drop rates through detailed root cause analysis, where I identified key issues and implemented targeted solutions, tracking progress via solution tickets and timelines. My contributions included integrating a machine learning-based behavior cloning model for autopilot functionality, which reduced average task duration by 2.6% and improved the grasp success rate from 82% to 89%, while decreasing fallback rates to human intervention by 13%. I also analyzed large-scale data on robotic picks to uncover trends in item drop rates and optimize pick times. To enhance remote monitoring capabilities, I expanded the front-end UI using React, adding a health check feature to ensure machine readiness. In addition to my technical contributions, I mentored three engineers through Ocado's buddy program, providing onboarding support and technical guidance, while actively participating in team planning and social initiatives to foster a collaborative and supportive team environment.
