Summary
Christopher Rusu is a computer science student at Carleton University with eight years of hands-on experience building robotics, firmware, and computer vision systems. He has applied that expertise across industry and teams—from high school FRC automation and the Carleton Planetary Robotics team to developing 6-axis arm control software at UTEX and sensor/driver integration at Rheinmetall Provectus. His work spans embedded firmware for automotive TCUs, ultrasonic and LiDAR driver development, and practical ML experimentation for object detection, with a track record of optimizing performance (e.g., multithreaded logging to reduce RAM usage). Based in Oakville, Ontario, he brings a pragmatic systems view that blends low-level device programming with higher-level perception problems. Notably, he pairs competitive robotics roots with commercial product development, making him comfortable moving projects from prototype vision to production-ready code.
