Rishabh Satish Changwani

Technical Leadership: As Robotics Software Engineer (Advisor to CEO/CTO) at FleetGlue, I architect and deliver plug-and-play integrations (e.g., OPC UA interfaces, ROS2 service clients, vision pipelines) across heterogeneous automation systems—reducing deployment timelines by 40%. Safety-Critical Innovation: At Halo.Car, I designed and developed a patented remote-override button (U.S. Patent No. 17/988,104) with Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) to ensure fail-safe operation in driverless vehicles. Mentorship & Judging Experience: I served as a mentor at the University at Buffalo DRONES LAB, guiding student teams on system architecture, rapid prototyping with ROS2 and computer vision, and best practices for agile teamwork. Cross-Disciplinary Insight: My work spans C/C++, Python, TypeScript, ROS, OpenCV, GStreamer, webRTC, SQL, Power BI, and cloud/edge platforms (AWS, Azure, Raspberry Pi), giving me a broad perspective to evaluate and advise on diverse project ideas.
