Summary
Eric Ward is a robotics researcher and software engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building embedded systems, simulation, and ROS 2-based robotics platforms. He combines industrial R&D at Nokia Bell Labs with FDA-oriented embedded work at Key Tech and high-throughput data engineering exposure from Bloomberg, demonstrating a knack for reliable, safety-critical software across domains. A Computer Science graduate from RPI and Robotics MS student at the University of Michigan, he moves comfortably between low-level firmware, PC tooling, and distributed systems like Kafka. Colleagues rely on him to simplify complex integrations and to harden systems for production use—skills honed by repeatedly shipping end-to-end projects in internship and research settings. Based in Flemington, NJ, he also tutors STEM topics, signaling a practical interest in teaching and clear technical communication.
