Timmy Lin

Language-Controlled Robotics Agent with Vision and Skill Execution

Robotics Project

• Built closed-loop pan-tilt turret integrating YOLOv11 + MediaPipe detection with PID controller driving SG90 servos via Arduino Nano over serial.
• Implemented Kalman filtering with MPU6050 IMU for stabilization, reducing jitter under platform motion.
• Designed modular ROS2 architecture (detection, tracking, control, serial bridge) with multi-object tracking (BoT-SORT).
• Developed voice-controlled interface (Whisper + LLM gateway) mapping natural language to robotic actions.
• Integrated with PX4 SITL + Gazebo for end-to-end validation with live telemetry and visualization.

Senior Capstone Project — UAV Autonomy Research

Cal Poly Pomona UAV Lab

Aug 2024 – May 2025

7-member interdisciplinary team: CS, Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering  |  AIAA SciTech 2026 (UAS-04)

• Led SLAM and sensor fusion development for VTOL UAV navigation in GPS-denied indoor environments.
• Engineered LiDAR–Visual SLAM pipeline (ORB-SLAM3 + point cloud processing), improving pose stability by 30% over monocular baseline.
• Designed time-synchronization layer aligning LiDAR (4×N) and camera streams, reducing drift under high-speed motion.
• Built real-time simulation pipeline using PX4 + Gazebo for autonomous flight validation.
• Co-authored peer-reviewed paper accepted to AIAA SciTech 2026 (UAS-04).

Personal Project

An automated Polymarket trading bot that monitors prediction markets in real time, identifies mispriced contracts using probability modeling and sentiment analysis, and executes trades to capture edge. Designed to run continuously with configurable risk parameters and strategy modules.

• Built a real-time market scanner that ingests Polymarket order book data and tracks contract price movements across hundreds of active markets.
• Implemented probability calibration models to detect mispricings between implied odds and external data sources (news feeds, sports APIs, on-chain data).
• Developed an automated execution engine with configurable position sizing, stop-loss, and bankroll management to minimize risk.
• Integrated sentiment analysis pipeline using LLM-based summarization of news and social signals to inform trade decisions.

ATS-Optimized Resume Analysis Tool

Personal Project

• Built a resume scanner with NLP-based keyword matching against job descriptions
• Developed frontend in React + Tailwind and backend in FastAPI with real-time analysis
• Used spaCy, KeyBERT, and Sentence Transformers for named entity recognition and resume-job similarity scoring

Automated PR Review Bot

Personal Project

• Created a GitHub bot using OpenAI API to automatically review PRs for quality and style
• Integrated GitHub Actions to automate real-time PR feedback on every push
• Implemented static analysis for deprecated APIs, vulnerabilities, and non-compliant code
