About Me

I’m Eric Straub, a Computer Science grad from the University of Central Florida. Most of my work sits at the overlap of web development, robotics, and AI: problems that need both a careful design and a working prototype. Recently I contributed to NASA-sponsored research on autonomous lunar rovers. I like building things that leave the lab and actually do something.

Projects

A few things I’ve built, from a companion rover to a compiler and a drag-race simulator.

• RE-RASSOR: Sidekick – Senior design project with NASA and FSI. We built a companion rover with a servo-mounted camera, object detection, and live remote control using ROS2, OpenCV, and a web interface.
  
• PL/0+ – A compiler and virtual machine written in C: recursive descent parsing, a custom instruction set, and a small runtime to execute it.
  
• PerfLog – A Python logger for Linux that watches CPU, memory, and other resources in real time, with a PyQt5 UI
  
• CarSim – Drag race simulator that predicts performance using physics-based modeling and visualization with Python, NumPy, and Matplotlib.
