Hello, my name is Nick Tremaroli!

Scroll to see some of my work!

I am a Computer Engineer with a focus in Robotics. I obtained my M.S. in Computer Engineering from Virginia Tech, where I designed an adaptive low-level software framework for distributed embedded systems on humanoid robots. I’ve worked on various robotics projects; my most recent was for the Italian Institute of Technology, where I developed the base pose estimator for iRonCub, the world’s first flying jet-powered humanoid robot. I also enjoy experimenting with diverse technologies, such as cryptocurrency, and working on other computer engineering projects.
