Hi, I'm Tarun Kesavan - Project Manager & Robotics Systems Engineer at Stealth Startup
I bridge the gap between complex theoretical engineering and practical autonomous systems. My journey from electrical research at Lear Corporation to leading robotics initiatives at a stealth startup has been defined by a relentless drive to master UAV simulation and embedded control. I thrive on integrating hardware and software to solve high-stakes challenges in robotics. With an MS in Electrical Engineering, I focus on transforming abstract autonomous concepts into reliable, high-performance systems that redefine how robots interact with their environment.
