Summary
Arun Kumar is a Computer Vision Developer and robotics software engineer with 8 years of experience building localization, mapping, and perception systems for autonomous and indoor mobile robots. He combines production-grade C++ and Python expertise with deep learning (PyTorch, TensorFlow), ROS/Gazebo simulation, and CI-driven engineering practices to ship reliable algorithms used in real-world AV and warehouse environments. At NVIDIA he diagnosed regressions across planning, perception, and localization pipelines using large-scale replay tooling and SQL-driven nightly monitors, and at Dematic he boosted indoor navigation accuracy by 33% through EKF improvements and ML-enhanced feature detection. Comfortable across the stack—from point cloud segmentation and IMU characterization to unit testing with GTest/GMock and containerized pipelines—he emphasizes reproducible validation and automated regression detection. Based in Grand Rapids and seeking 100% remote roles, he brings both academic rigor (M.Eng. Robotics, UMD) and practical field-tested experience integrating sensors, simulation, and ML into dependable robotic systems.
