Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBryant Pong is a Senior Robotics Software Engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience building navigation, control, and perception systems for commercial and assistive robots. He has shipped production features across startups and product teams—from Neato vacuum algorithms and cloud-integrated mapping to Bear Robotics’ restaurant robots and a swerve-drive robotic cane that aided visually impaired users. Proficient in C++ and ROS/ROS2, Bryant has designed URDFs, custom controllers, safety braking systems, and Navigation2 behavior trees while also authoring simulation plugins and practical Python tooling for testing and debugging. He pairs low-level algorithm work (kinematics, odometry, A* optimizations, Euclidean distance transforms) with system integration tasks like hardware interfaces and map-upload pipelines. Notably, his cane work included live demos to users and cross-team ML guidance that improved segmentation performance in deployed demos. Based in Hayward, CA, he combines field-driven product focus with deep robotics engineering to reduce robot failure modes and improve real-world autonomy.
