Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGrace Kwak is a Robotics Software Engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with nine years of cross-disciplinary experience building data-efficient, generalizable embodied intelligence systems. She has shipped real-world robotics and controls tools—from a Julia–Rust simulation bridge that cut iteration overhead by 80% at Zipline to model-validation and onboard controller integrations used in production flight and drone teams. Her background blends deep learning for trajectory planning, real-time embedded systems, and control analysis (experience at Blue Origin, UCLA research, and industry internships), and she’s comfortable moving between C++, Rust, Python, Julia, and ROS. Grace also brings a creative, product-driven mindset—she published a sci-fi novel and built full-stack projects at Recurse Center—reflecting an ability to translate research and prototypes into user-ready systems.
