Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDominik Kogel is a generalist software engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building robotics, IoT, and embedded systems, currently contributing to Fotokite from Darmstadt. His background spans applied research and product development—from behavior-based walking-pattern generation for planetary robots to IoT solution architecture at Bosch—bridging ROS-enabled autonomous platforms, Python/C++ software, and cloud-connected sensors. He combines academic rigor (MSc/BSc in Electrical Engineering from KIT) with practical workshop and lab leadership, having supervised robotics labs and maintained quadcopter platforms. Comfortable across low-level embedded design, PCB work, and higher-level API and cloud integrations, he brings a systems-level mindset that favors pragmatic, testable solutions. A detail that sets him apart is repeated crossover between research and industry roles, enabling rapid prototyping informed by scientific methods.
