Debugging robotics software is often about finding problems that don't appear during a normal test run.
On a production robot vacuum cleaner, I worked on an issue where memory usage gradually increased during long cleaning cycles, eventually leading to performance degradation and crashes.
I reproduced the issue, profiled the application, traced ROS2 message flow, and reviewed the sensor-processing modules to identify the underlying cause. The investigation pointed to unbounded message accumulation and improper object/resource lifecycle management.
After refactoring the affected module and improving memory/resource handling, I validated the changes through extended runs.
Result: stable memory usage and significantly improved reliability during long-duration operation.
This was a good reminder that in robotics, finding the root cause is often more important than simply treating the symptom.

The Last Memory
Coin cabinet — Charles Percier, Paris, ca. 1809–19
The Last Memory reimagines Charles Percier's Coin cabinet as an archive of human memory. Instead of preserving coins and medals, its drawers preserve fleeting fragments of human life. Most compartments have gone dark, leaving only a few fragile memories behind. I kept the cabinet grounded in the visual language of a real museum artifact and introduced one impossible idea: what if memory itself could be physically preserved?

🐍 One thing Python has taught me: errors are part of the learning process.
Every bug is an opportunity to learn, improve, and become a better problem solver.
Keep building. Keep debugging. 🚀

What if your online store could market itself? 🤖
I’ve been building an AI-powered social media automation platform that turns ecommerce products into ready-to-publish marketing content.
The workflow can:
→ Connect to an ecommerce store
→ Sync products automatically
→ Generate social media content with AI
→ Create product-focused visuals
→ Prepare posts/stories for social platforms
→ Schedule and publish content
→ Keep product marketing running with minimal manual work
The bigger idea isn’t just “AI-generated posts.”
It’s building an automated marketing workflow around the actual products in your store.
This is the kind of automation I enjoy building: connecting APIs, AI agents, ecommerce systems, content generation, and social platforms into one practical workflow.
If you're running an ecommerce business and still creating every product post manually, there’s probably a lot that can be automated.

Love this autonomous workflow! Clean execution and super practical.
