👩‍💻 About Me

I'm a Robotics Engineer with a multidisciplinary background in robotics, software development, artificial intelligence, and mechanical engineering.

My work spans autonomous navigation, robot manipulation, simulation, control, embedded systems, computer vision, and machine learning.

During my Master's thesis internship at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), I worked on the simulation and low-level control integration of a cable-driven robotic manipulator, using ROS2, Gazebo, URDF, and CAN bus.

Alongside my robotics background, I have professional experience in software development, document automation, database queries, API integration, and technical debugging.

I'm particularly interested in the intersection of intelligent software, physical systems, and real-world engineering challenges.
