As a child, I used to watch this American sitcom called "Small Wonder" (
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_Wonder_(TV_series)) which made me go awestruck with the wonders that engineering could create! Coming from a doctors' family, this sitcom was my first hand exposure to what an engineer's life looked like.
Eventually, I ended up studying Computer Science and Engineering myself. But, it was not until now that I really got a chance to do something substantial on the robotics front.
Fast forwarding to about the last quarter this year, I bagged a job opportunity in a field that's an amalgamation of Software Engineering and Robotics! I graciously accepted the offer, changed countries and henceforth, will be working as a Software Development Engineer for Robotic Systems Software out of Tokyo, Japan for this Japanese company - Rapyuta Robotics, whose mission aligns so much with my vision.
I trust, it's all how it was destined to be and I wouldn't have been here without the experience that my previous gigs provided me. The knowledge of Linux systems software that I gained at IBM was definitely a pre-requisite for my current role and equipped with all these skills gained over years, I aim at creating and achieving many more milestones, with my team, for this new found love for empowering lives with connected machines.
That's all for now, and until next time, take care and happy hacking!
