Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKartik Mohta is a robotics and software engineering leader with 16 years of experience, currently directing Motion Planning at Autel Robotics from India. He combines deep academic training (Ph.D. and M.S. from the University of Pennsylvania, B.Tech from IIT Bombay) with hands-on systems work across perception, VIO, and embedded drivers. An active open-source contributor, he has improved core ROS communication stacks and visualization tools (ros_comm, PlotJuggler) and hardened real‑time stacks like msckf_vio and ublox for modern C++ and newer build environments. Known for bridging research and production, he focuses on compatibility, reliability, and build/test infrastructure—skills that helped port legacy robotics codebases to Python 3 and current GCC/Boost toolchains.

A driver for ublox gps
Role in this project:Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:12 commits, 2 PRs, 10 pushes in 3 years 8 months
Contributions summary:Kartik primarily focused on improving the `ublox` GPS driver. Their contributions include refactoring the code to be compatible with C++11 standards and addressing compilation issues related to newer GCC and Boost versions. They also fixed a potential segfault in the printing of Inf messages and addressed minor compatibility issues with very old devices. Further, they updated the serial port configuration and fixed an issue with the constructor of boost::posix_time::seconds.
