πŸ‘‹ Hi, I'm Lakshay Gopalka

Engineer building at the intersection of AI, autonomy, and connected infrastructure. I thrive at the seam between engineering and the customer, where technical decisions have to hold up against real-world constraints and real people.

Currently at Viasat, architecting and deploying large-scale AI systems across satellite networks spanning 70+ countries. Previously at Motional (AV perception), Alert Innovations (warehouse robotics), and Siemens (industrial & service robotics), with an MS in Robotics Engineering from WPI underneath it all.


πŸ”­ What I build

  • AI & LLM systems β€” agent workflows, MCP integrations, geofencing and authentication at scale
  • Autonomous systems β€” motion planning, iterative learning control, sensor fusion, perception stack validation
  • Connected infrastructure β€” satellite platform APIs, telemetry pipelines, distributed fleet monitoring
  • Hardware-software integration β€” ROS, embedded control, sensor characterization (LiDAR, RADAR, IMU, GNSS)

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» A few things in this repo
