Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Lauzon is a software engineer and teaching assistant with six years of hands-on experience in robotics, autonomy, and web development, currently pursuing an MS in Computer Software Engineering at Université Laval. As Director of Software Engineering for the Laval University Autonomous Vehicle team he leads development of competition-winning autonomy stacks and previously accelerated LiDAR odometry at Norlab by implementing a voxel-hashed downsampling solution. He pairs academic instruction in multidisciplinary design with practical roles—building frontends in React/C# at Logix and managing student association finances—demonstrating both technical depth and organizational leadership. Outside the lab he coaches mountain biking, a detail that reflects his propensity for hands-on mentoring and risk-managed decision making under pressure. Though his GitHub bio playfully reads “robot go vroom vroom,” his contributions show a thoughtful focus on performant perception and reliable autonomy systems.
