About Me 🇪🇬🇮🇹🇺🇸

I'm Noah Jean-Pierre Hathout: a robotics & AI engineer, tech enthusiast, and avid gamer. I'm finishing my M.S. in Robotics & Autonomous Systems at Boston University while doing my thesis research as an AI Engineer Intern at Universal Robots, after earning my B.S. in Computer Engineering there (cum laude, 2025). I love exploring how machines can learn and interact with the world.

On the side, I lead software part-time at UMG Technologies, I'm turning BROS2 (my visual builder for ROS 2) into a real product, and I'm teaching myself game development.

BROS2

A visual builder for ROS 2

Build robot software by connecting blocks: every block is a real ROS 2 node and every wire is a real topic. It started as a class project, and I'm rebuilding it from the ground up into a real product.
