Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNarmada Balasooriya is a robotics software engineer and lecturer with eight years’ experience building field‑tested autonomous systems for aerial and marine domains. She has engineered C++/ROS navigation and precision-landing pipelines that achieved 95% landing accuracy in windy conditions and led sensor-fusion and Jetson‑optimized perception modules for real-world deployments. Her academic rigor (MEng, M.Sc.) is paired with startup agility—publishing on AI-driven landing zone detection and sea‑ice perception while delivering client-facing deep‑learning solutions on Upwork. She thrives at the intersection of perception, SLAM, and embedded systems, turning research prototypes into reliable flight- and marine-ready software. Based in Sydney, she also teaches and supervises projects, bringing practical multi-robot and reinforcement‑learning insights into the classroom. An uncommon strength is her track record of taking simulation-tested algorithms through dozens of live trials to robust deployment.
