Summary
Titon Barua is a multidisciplinary engineer blending a mechanical engineering foundation with a decade of software and startup leadership experience, now pursuing robotics research as a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of South Carolina. He co-founded and led technical teams in multiple ventures—serving as CTO and co-founder—where he built production systems and learned to value robustness and thoughtful design over quick hacks. Proficient across Python, Clojure, C/C++ and even assembly, he enjoys working close to the metal while increasingly focusing on visual perception and machine learning. Known for "hammock driven development," he prefers planning and study before hacking, bringing a pragmatic curiosity to difficult problems. Based in Columbia, SC, Titon mixes entrepreneurial grit with academic rigor as he transitions deeper into robotics and perception research.
