KIRAN PRAKASH
WHO I AM
I am a Software Engineer living in San Jose, California, USA
Through my work I am striving to become part of present day technological advances that can impact lives of people both globally and locally. Outside work I enjoy cooking, playing soccer, hiking and watching movies and spend casual times with friends and family members.
I love to work around people who love what they do and do what they love. I am eager to hear about any opportunity within my interests or to just grab coffee with someone who shares similar interests!

PAST PROJECTS
Simulation and Testing: Internship project where a SITL instance of a drone is controlled via ROS.
With the use of limited image space and task space information, the robot manipulator's end effector is moved from the actual position to desired position. An improved performance in the torque control input is demonstrated in the MATLAB simulations with reference to the scholarly article 'Adaptive 2.5D Visual Servoing of Kinematically Redundant Robot Manipulators', by Y. Fang, A. Behal, W. E. Dixon, and D. M. Dawson.
Student Disability Services(SDS), UCF employs high‐achieving, responsible students to assist with delivering note taking services to students registered with SDS. I was trained and certified as a note-taker by Pepnet Online Note-Taker Services. My responsibilities included attending classes and taking reliable and legible notes for a students with disabilities.
