Hands-on robotics technician role supporting robotic systems that need to operate accurately and consistently in dust, heat, and day-to-day use.

• Bring layer-by-layer troubleshooting habits from simulator support into robotics work, with emphasis on observation, isolation, and repeatable fixes.
• Apply hardware, Windows, networking, and diagnostic experience in a hands-on equipment context.

Web software and audio DSP projects developed outside of full-time work, alongside writing, recording, and producing original music.

• Built mmaitland.dev with typed content, CI, smoke tests, contact validation, rate limiting, and optional admin workflows.
• Building StringFlux in JUCE/C++ with a focus on stable real-time audio processing and a deliberately focused feature set.
• Write case studies and project notes that explain what I built, why I made certain choices, and what I would improve next.

Supported complex simulator systems remotely, often with incomplete logs and limited direct hardware access.

• Built repeatable triage notes for recurring failure patterns so similar tickets started from the right isolation steps instead of from scratch.
• Worked through customer-facing simulator issues by isolating symptoms, testing likely causes, and documenting repeatable fixes.
