Summary
Chibuike Okpaluba is a Senior Software Engineer and Mechatronics graduate with ten years of hands-on experience designing and implementing robotics, mechatronics, and automation systems, particularly for mobile and autonomous platforms. Based in Oxford, he combines systems-level software expertise with hardware prototyping from freelance projects and product-focused roles, most recently at Dogtooth Technologies after leading systems software work at M-Solv. He has applied his skills across startups, academic labs and client work—building Android and backend services for agricultural forecasting, developing PKI demonstrators for IoT security, and producing tutorials for industrial robot arms. Comfortable switching between embedded software, control systems and full-stack services, he also mentors and teaches STEM through tutoring and university learning-assistant roles. Known for pragmatic problem solving and clear communication, he frequently bridges the gap between concept and deployable prototypes. Outside typical engineering duties he enjoys translating research-grade robotics ideas into demonstrable products and teaching others how they work.
