Building robots that give you time back

Working on cutting-edge AI technology at a stealth startup.

Tech Lead in the behaviors org at cruise building our deep learned models for AV decision making

Leading deep learning based object tracking at Cruise.

Applying machine learning to develop state of the art multi-sensor object tracking systems for Cruise's perception stack.

Instructional Aid in EECS 445 Machine Learning. Responsibilities including teaching discussion, developing course materials, office hours, and exam grading.

Nano-Satellite technology advancement has opened the door for a wide array of small space research payloads. MXL specializes in payload design and integration for CubeSats. Using proprietary in house custom buses and circuitry MXL is able to integrate a range of payloads into 3U CubeSats. I joined MXL as a student researcher on the TBeX, MARIO, and PHAROS missions. My work has ranged from payload and bus systems software development system validation, integration, and testing

The autonomous vehicle technology will reshape the transportation industry as we know it. Creating a new ecosystem of low-cost rideshare will returning billions of productive hours to drivers across the nation as a whole. I am excited to be a part of this industry and to contribute as a software developer at Ford. While at Ford I Developed LiDAR to Camera calibration algorithms that use computer vision and probabilistic models to detect targets and perform online automatic miscalibration detection/correction on Autonomous Vehicles. Additionally I Integrated Baidu’s Apollo Software with development vehicles to create a development platform with full AV capabilities for evaluation, rapid research and iteration, and integration with the Baidu ecosystem.

I interned at a Michigan product development and testing laboratory that specialized in thermal and dynamic testing of automotive components. My work included installing thermal and dynamic test systems, preparing them to run tests, and designing fixtures and baskets to hold specimens.
