I work on the Robot Development Kit, which runs on the robot itself to interact with the hardware directly. Most of my work is in Go.I've specialized in the board interactions within the RDK: whether they're running on a Raspberry Pi or a Jetson Orin or anything in between, my work is how users interact with the GPIO pins, PWM output, I2C bus, SPI bus, how.

I worked on the core server, which is responsible for approving and declining credit card authorizations, creating new cards, and similar functionality. The core server is written in C++ with a Python test suite, but upcoming projects are written in Rust.I increased the throughput of this server by several orders of magnitude, through a combination of.

I was the head of the Systems Team. We designed and implemented the systems that run on the next generation of our robotic key-cutting kiosk, touching nearly every facet of the machine. We got independent subsystems to communicate in a multi-process, multithreaded architecture. Most of my work was in Python.I owned most of the code behind the peripheral.

Conducted research on sensor networks. Designed and wrote firmware for embedded sensors. The sensors communicated with each other via Bluetooth Low Energy protocol. Carried out a week-long field trial in which the system was tested around our office, and analyzed the data as a proof of concept system.

Durham, North Carolina, US

Taught 3 sections of recitation/lab for the Introduction to Programming class, including about 70students each semester. Starting in late September, was responsible for creating the content of lab. Graded lab work; held office hours. Starting in October, gave weekly supplemental lectures. Winner of the Duke CS “Outstanding Teaching and Mentoring Award,”.

Spent two years working on a backend for AdSense For Domains, and two years on a backend to a server that kept track of AdSense traffic. Worked mainly in C++, Sawzall (a logs analysis programming language created at Google), and Python. Built the system to remove kited domains from AFD, which indirectly lead to ICANN cracking down on domain kiting.

Claremont, California, CA, US

Tutored and graded homework for the Introduction to Algorithms class. Held office hours, held review sessions before tests.

Claremont, CA, US

Worked on a team of 4 students to build an autonomous, low-budget robot to participate in the Scavenger Hunt competition at the annual AAAI conference. We won 2 awards, published 3 papers, and gave several presentations on our work.
