Summary
Sidney Mclean is a software engineer and Ohio State Computer Science and Engineering graduate with eight years of hands-on experience and a focus on robotics, autonomous systems, and embedded software. He is building an integrated system that marries vision-based decision-making and machine learning with low-level flight control, demonstrating strength across perception-to-control pipelines. Sidney has practical cybersecurity experience from a DoD contractor internship—supporting CMMC audit prep, incident response, and vendor security vetting—which informs his secure-by-design approach to autonomous systems. Comfortable in both research-driven projects and operational environments, he seeks roles where computer vision, embedded programming, and safety-critical software intersect. An adaptable collaborator who has also supported communities as a resident advisor, he brings technical depth plus real-world grounding in user-centered systems.
