Software for data systems and physical AI.

I'm Jordan Bangia, a Staff Software Developer at Waabi. I build data platforms and backend systems that get robotics software out of the lab and into production.

About / Focus

Backend and data systems for robots, trucks and warehouses.

Today I'm the Technical Lead Manager of the Data Platform team at Waabi, which builds autonomous trucks. I joined in 2022 on Simulation Core and moved to Data Platform in 2023.

Before that I spent five years at Kindred shipping software for robotic picking and sorting in live warehouses, and two years on real-time big data pipelines at Rakuten Kobo.
