Decision-making

An aspect of your own experience that demonstrates this skill :
I balance technical performance with market needs for cost, simplicity, and scalability. In developing a fractional-order control module for hexapod locomotion, I selected a lower controller order to reduce computational load, meeting real-time constraints while retaining over 90% tracking accuracy. I documented this trade-off in design reviews. When simulation showed latency under hardware limits, I revised the design with a larger discretization step and simplified time-delay loop, improving performance by 15%. I maintain transparent records, communicates impacts, and adapts decisions to empirical results and market feedback.
