David Pike

Responsible for software verification and validation of 3D vision algorithms. Experience managing build and packaging system supporting Ubuntu and Windows on x86/armv8 systems.

Responsible for design and implementation of machine vision algorithms for real-time processing of 3D LiDAR data.

Part of integration team supporting 2 flight simulators for the CP-140 Aurora aircraft. Main responsibilities included managing system updates, updating user manuals, verifying bugfixes, and reporting on outstanding software issues to software team leads.

Designed 2 multi-vehicle path planning policies for swarms of unmanned vehicles. Analytically showed both policies to converge to a derived steady-state cost. Programmed multi-agent simulator in MATLAB and numerically verified analytic findings. Investigated implementation of swarming policies on quadrotor UAVs considering collision avoidance, robot communications, and real-time feasibility on a Gumstix embedded system. Taught fourth year operating systems course and lead third and fourth year labs for control theory and robotics courses.

Supported content management and archiving product using Java, SQL, and JSP.

Planted 100,000+ trees over two summers. Achieved rate of 3,000 trees per day near the end of the second season.
