Sim-to-Real Robotics Toolchain

Evidence of full-pipeline capability, not just a bare skills list

Simulation & Planning

Isaac Sim — robot modeling, URDF authoring (including rigging conversion from Blender for the Aveline project), physics simulation
ROS2 — node architecture, topic/service design
Nav2 — path planning and autonomous navigation stacks
SLAM Toolbox — mapping and localization

Hardware Reality

Diagnosed and resolved an Isaac Sim 5.1.0 driver regression on an RTX 2080 workstation, including configuring WebRTC streaming over Tailscale for remote sim access

TODO: any other hardware/driver troubleshooting worth naming — GPU comparisons for LLM inference could also live here, tying robotics and AI infra together

"I don't just run simulations — I've had to fix the environments that run them: driver regressions, remote streaming setups, and the gap between what works in sim and what survives contact with real sensors and real floors."
