Erdem Ipek
Hi, my name is
Software engineer at RBW. I build real-time robotics software, autonomous systems, and full-stack tools with Python, Flutter, and ROS2: from industrial welding integrations to field robots and freelance delivery (65+ projects).
See my work
I am a software engineer at RBW, where I develop production Python and Flutter software for real-time robotics. I collaborate with cross-functional teams on communication stacks, integration testing, and reliable operation of robotic platforms.
Previously: autonomous agricultural systems at Daphne Bilisim, an inventory platform at ASKi, full-stack and campus systems at Erciyes University, and open-data and search infrastructure at Kayseri Ulasim.
I also ship freelance work on Fiverr (65+ projects, strong client feedback).
For longer technical notes on robotics, ROS2, and industrial automation, see the blog.
Core stack:
Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP protocol drivers for industrial welding machines including Kemppi, Fronius, ESAB, EWM, Kolarc, and related brands. Enables the robot controller to command welding parameters, read live process feedback, and handle faults in real time.
IoT edge stack that collects weld process data (current, voltage, wire feed, faults, and job metadata) from production cells, buffers it locally when the network drops, then syncs to AWS (S3 for durable storage, IoT Core over MQTT for ingestion). Lambda-backed processing and user-facing dashboards so plant and remote teams can trace quality, compare runs, and export batches without touching the shop floor.
Full autonomous agricultural vehicle: motor control software, ground station software, autonomous driving algorithm, and sockets for transmitting data and video. Built with Python, embedded hardware, LIDAR, Jetson NANO, Pixhawk, ESC, and GNSS.
Autonomous agricultural robot software for TUBITAK project 3181328. AI and image processing for disease detection and plant counting using Python and TensorFlow.
Kayseri Transportation's open data portal built on CKAN. Elasticsearch search optimization, bus and tramway service integration, and a bus scheduling analysis SPA with JavaScript and ReactJS.

How protocol drivers connect robot controllers to Kemppi, Fronius, ESAB, EWM, and similar power sources in production.
Real-time stacks, integration testing, and patterns that matter in production in 2026.
Core stack includes Python, Flutter, ROS2, PostgreSQL, .NET, Linux, and PyTorch. He has shipped work involving Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, industrial welding integrations, autonomous systems.
Erdem is based in Istanbul, Turkey. He works on robotics software at RBW with international collaboration, including teams in Seoul, South Korea.
