• Led the initiative to build a platform for statistical analysis of simulation results to validate engineer PRs. • Delivered a Metric Explore UI for engineers to view their biggest metric changes, dive into outliers, and bookmark scenarios for review. • Built a Triage UI enabling engineers during PR review to label regressions as True/False Positives, providing a critical feedback loop to the Autonomy Metrics team to improve precision/recall. • Shipped a PR Checklist to show merge eligibility and provide actionable next steps • This new toolset reduced page load times from 2 minutes to 5 seconds, saved engineers over 2hrs per week, achieved a 4.1/5 user satisfaction score, and is used by 200+ daily active users.

• Proposed, built, and launched the company's first central repository and simulation platform for 10M+ real-world driving events, solving a critical data gap and cutting autonomy PR testing and iteration time by 50% over 12 months. Grew the platform from 0 to 400+ daily active users. • Engineered the platform to support developer workflows including batch simulation, A/B testing, and data augmentation (event fuzzing), while centralizing all event information with user-tagging and Slack integrations. • Delivered streaming services and Databricks jobs for labeling automation, reducing manual labeling costs by 28% and unlocking $4M+ in annual savings. • Worked cross-functionally across 5 teams and 15+ stakeholders to define the AI dev tools Team Charter and Roadmap for 2023 and 2024.

• Partnered with the CTO and department executives to define the strategy, timelines, and success criteria to reduce AWS S3 vehicle data storage cost. • Led a cross-functional program with 10 teams and 30+ stakeholders to define, implement, and validate data scores on vehicle data, leading to a 30% data storage cost reduction over 18 months.

• Led cross-functional teams to create, release, and improve 6 enterprise products with 2,000 daily users for AEG Presents (producer of Coachella), enabling live music event creation, budgeting, and forecasting. • Scaled project team from 5 to 20 and increased project revenues by 300% over the course of 12 months • Created complex project roadmaps for critical team milestones and schedules across internal and supplier engineering teams • Managing weekly status report for the CEO of a $200M+ company by synthesizing information from 4 teams

• Wrote 10+ Product Requirement Documents leading to a $2M+ contract with AEG Presents • Supported tech lead in defining backend architecture, APIs, data warehouse, services, logging, integration with 3rd party systems • Built quality assurance processes which decreased the number of bugs by 80% over the course of 3 months • Designed and led usability studies with more than 60 participating users

• Managed the development and launch of an in-house information system for shipping, financial reporting and product inventory using GoogleScripts decreasing shipping time by 25% and shipping cost by 30% • Implemented a detailed JIRA workflow to optimize request response time for Support, Product and Engineering which reduced average weekly open warranty cases from 843 to 70 and return processing time from 5 to 2 days • Oversaw the launch of the company's support website involving multiple stakeholders from Product, Engineering and Support which decreased request volume by 50%

• Created a customer facing iOS app to perform autonomous drone delivery within a 60 km range leveraging 4G network • Implemented computer vision algorithms to estimate real-time aircraft position for autonomous take-off and landing • Established communication bridge between autopilot and the embedded computer system for real time data exchange

• Conducted Machine Learning research for NASA to forecast the impact of various technologies at the fleet level

• Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering. Full-tuition NASA scholarship. GPA: 4.0 • Relevant courses: Aircraft Design, Optimization, Machine Learning

• Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Louis Magne scholarship. • Relevant courses: Materials Science, Thermodynamics, Controls
