Summary
Isaac Van Der Sluis is a robotics software engineer with a decade of engineering experience and five years focused on C++ and ROS/ROS2 for autonomous systems. He has built production-grade perception, localisation and planning stacks for mobile robots and autonomous vehicles, including custom drivers, multi-threaded SLAM components, and a hybrid LiDAR-vision relocalisation system. Comfortable close to hardware, he has led on-vehicle integrations, sensor fusion, and low-latency TCP/IP networking libraries that improved real-world reliability. Isaac also refactored core architectures to introduce lifecycle nodes and cleaner sensor interfaces, demonstrating an eye for maintainability as well as performance. A pragmatic problem-solver with hands-on testing and CI/CD experience, he combines academic training in advanced computer science with competition-proven mapping work from Formula Student Autonomous. Based in Oxford, he is open to new robotics software roles where he can bridge research prototypes into resilient production systems.
