About

We build indoor robots to automate your home chores. Our mission is to save people time and energy. We are a small team of passionate people, building products we love We are vertically integrated -- we design a d manufacture the entire hardware and software stack of our products. I lead the sautonomy stack; I was an integral part of designing and building ~2mm accurate cameras only SLAM, Photorealistic 3D Maps and camera calibrations which run live on Jetson Nano 4gb. I also work cross functionally co-ordinate with other teams -- firmware, hardware. Learn more at [matician.com](https://matician.com/)

Autonomy Lead

Matic Robots

2020-3 - Present · 6 yrs 7 mos

Mountain View, California, United States

Help designing the overall autonomy system of the robot -- algorithms, infrastructure, data pipelines, testing. In particular, I lead the following teams: 1. Slam -- Designed and implement SLAM (gps for robot) with 5 cameras and IMU to achieve 2 mm accuracy. It runs live at 12 FPS on two arm 53 cores ($5 cost) and is deployed on hundreds of robots running for months. 2. Calibration -- Add calibration rig (of 5 cameras and imu) as part of the manufacturing pipeline with 100% automation and accuracy, which is run >1000 times 3. Live 3d map -- Designed and implemented a module which constructs live 3d map of any indoor space just using cameras.

Phd

Stanford University

2015-9 - 2020-2 · 4 yrs 6 mos

"Fundamentally scaling blockhain to physical limits". 1. Prism -- A blockchain which supports millions of transactions per second with sub second confirmation time. Designed and implementated it in rust. 2. Designed longest chain based proof of stake blockchain with theoretical provable security. 3. Boomerang -- Payment channel protocol which speeds to transaction using shamir secret sharing. Machine learning 1. Multi arm bandit based algorithms for nearest neighbors, k means, medoid whose runtime is logarithmic in dimension (compared to linear) 2. Theoretically proved that Travelling salesman problem is polynomial solvable when the edge weights are drawn from certain (large class of) probabilistic distributions.

Quantitative Analyst

Worked in the team which designed strategies behind mutual funds and other type of funds. My job involved robust data collection/synchronization , and also designing various tools which assisted in the portfolio managers/traders in the strategy building and deployment phase.

Porting B2G on low cost phones

Sasken Technology

2012-5 - 2012-7 · 3 mos

Ported B2G (Mozilla Mobile OS) on low cost android phones - Huawei u8150 and Samsung Galaxy Duos. • Used shell scripting to automate the porting process. • Understood the basic idea of working of Linux kernel.

Blood Pressure Sensor

Reliance IITM Telecom Centre of Excellence

2011-12 - 2012-1 · 2 mos

Worked on blood pressure signal processing as part of an upcoming telemedicine kit under Prof. Ashok Jhunjhunwala. • Created an algorithm to measure the heart beat rate and blood pressure. • Implemented the filters and algorithms in both Python and C
