Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrés García is a software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in localization and motion planning for autonomous ground vehicles, currently building onboard software for AGVs at KION Group. He holds an EECS master's from UC Merced and spent years developing and researching ROS/ROS2-based stacks, MoveIt!, navigation frameworks, and Gazebo simulations at the UC Merced Robotics Lab and in industry roles. Andrés has hands-on experience with Clearpath Husky, Pioneer, TurtleBot platforms and a broad sensor/motor toolkit (2D lidars, RTK GPS, IMUs, ODrive controllers), and codes comfortably in C++11, Python3 and embedded Linux. His background spans both research and productization—designing simulation environments at Dematic, control and localization modules for agricultural AGVs, and processor testing at Intel—demonstrating an ability to move algorithms from lab prototypes into industrial systems. Fluent in Spanish and English, he pairs strong robotics domain knowledge with practical engineering discipline in testing, unit coverage, and coding standards.
