Takatoshi Soeda

Madison, WI · JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js

• Improved developer experience for feature development and backend telemetry library workflows in TypeScript and Node.js.
• Reduced memory usage by 50% and package file size by 70% through performance optimization, dependency cleanup, and library-code refactoring.
• Debugged a large-scale telemetry API to improve data-traffic control, bottleneck visibility, and efficient data-flow management.

Gardena, CA · C++, ROS2, OpenCV, RealSense, Jetson, Unity

• Built barcode detection, perception, and position-estimation pipelines using stereo / RGB-D cameras, OpenCV, C++, and ROS2.
• Optimized a RealSense VR teleoperation pipeline on Jetson with multithreaded capture and real-time RGB-D streaming to Unity.
• Reduced frame drops and improved streaming stability for low-latency robot teleoperation and sensor-pipeline debugging.

Fukuoka, Japan · C++, ROS

• Restructured 3D LiDAR-based real-time localization and mapping based on the Fast-LIO algorithm.
• Improved point-cloud scanning, localization, and map-update systems, automating the process to increase development efficiency.
• Developed an intuitive GUI in three days using Tkinter, streamlining interactions for users and developers.

Los Angeles, CA · 3DGS, ROS, Python

• Fixed multi-camera timestamp offsets using LoFTR, dynamic time warping, and gradient-descent optimization.
• Investigated robotic localization and sensor alignment to enable reinforcement-learning training in real environments using Gaussian Splatting.
• Developed ROS-based Spacetime Gaussian Splatting with dynamic rosbag input for real-time scene reconstruction.

Los Angeles, CA · Unity, C#, PPO

• Implemented Proximal Policy Optimization to train AI for a tower-defense mobile game, optimizing decision-making.
• Analyzed and compared AI performance with human player data to refine game balance and AI behavior.
