EXPERIENCE

Mechatronics and Software Engineering Intern | STILFOLD | Stockholm, SWE | Jun 2026 to Present

  • Built STILFOLD's Fairino FR30 robot data visualization and control suite from scratch; now central to the team development, used daily by the team for troubleshooting and testing new features.
  • Engineered the suite's live and historical 3D robot visualization, joint telemetry, camera feeds, controls, safety features, ROS 2 connections, and automations.
  • Programmed ROS 2 applications, publishing and subscribing to 39+ ROS topics.
  • Developed and tested on STILFOLD's Raspberry Pi over SSH, documenting all work in GitHub.
  • Planned development on site with a multilingual, multicultural team in Stockholm, then delivered remotely across a six hour time difference through weekly progress meetings and coworker feedback.

Researcher | Atomic Agriculture Lab | University of Windsor | May 2026 to Present

  • Student research lead in nuclear energy management, biointeractive lighting, and sustainable greenhouse optimization under Dr. Carriveau and Dr. Stagner, researching energy from tower to tummy.
  • Delivered 3+ successful research crop cycles of cucumbers and beans using fertigation, lighting, pest management, and custom built automation.
  • Collaborate with 9 industry partners including Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, Priva BV, and SmartGro Bioengineering.
  • Briefed Ontario MPPs and the university president via live demonstrations; featured in a city wide university advertising campaign.

Founder | Node3 Agriculture Solutions | wallerwatch.pages.dev | Jan 2026 to Present
