Raffaello Bonghi
Automation Engineer
Italy / UK
Summary
🤩
RockstarRaffaello Bonghi is an automation engineer with a Ph.D. in Robotics and 12 years’ experience bridging embedded systems, ROS-based perception, and low-level hardware control across Italy and the UK. He combines hands-on robotics research with practical system engineering—refactoring GUIs and fan controllers for NVIDIA Jetson platforms and improving camera frame transforms and odometry publishing in the popular ZED ROS wrapper. Comfortable both debugging kernel-adjacent hardware interactions and shaping ROS launch/URDF logic, he excels at turning complex robotic stacks into reliable, deployable systems. Outside work he continues to push robotics and AI projects on GitHub, reflecting a sustained curiosity for real-world autonomy and performance tuning.
