A running record of what Miguel is building, what he's reading, what's
going wrong, and the occasional longer essay. Short notes are the
rule; longform happens when something earns it.
Now · updated Apr 2026
Currently focused on…
Building
A SLAM-based mapping rover (Wayfinder v2) — closing the loop, swapping the hot path to C++.
Learning
Kalman filters in depth, ROS2 service primitives, and embedded Linux on the Raspberry Pi.
Reading
"Probabilistic Robotics" by Thrun et al. — slowly, in chunks.
Looking for
Summer 2026 internships in robotics, embedded, or hardware-adjacent roles.
