Sensor systems engineering and architecture for autonomous vehicles and robotics applications.

• Responsible for sensor simulation and modeling, performance analysis, and requirementsmanagement for autonomous systems and vision systems• Explored performance capability and limitations of camera, stereo vision, radar, and lidar sensors in conjunction with perception and algorithms teams• Collaborated with hardware, design, V&V, safety, and software teams to ensure requirementsand product goals were met• Developed a MATLAB-based simulation framework to aid in make vs. buy decisions, evaluatepotential benefits of emerging sensor technologies, and refined sensor system requirements

• Performed a variety of systems engineering functions within AV hardware includingrequirements management, performance analysis, trade studies, and hardware evaluations• Led the decomposition of key radar performance requirements and associated data products toenhance perception algorithms• Managed requirements for the full sensor suite including cameras, lidar, acoustics, networking,and MPSoCs touching areas of performance, safety, security, reliability, and environmentals• Collaborated with embedded systems, hardware development, and integration & test teams toensure that development progressed, often jumping in to perform technical work to fill gaps

• Scouted, developed, and deployed new technology innovations for Infineon’s automateddriving sensor products targeting Level 3+ autonomous features• Researched 84 companies, of which 29 led to engagements, and 6 completed proof of concepts• One project was the development of an inexpensive end-to-end 77 GHz radar development kitincluding software that was used to engage with OEMs in ways previously not possible• Involved in contracts negotiation, project management, and technical development todemonstrate the value of engagements to the CEO and executive leadership team

• Performed systems engineering functions including requirements definition, integration & test, and field support on multiple radar programs including low-band radar, JLENS, and other classified deployments• Supported research and development efforts for technology insertion into product lines• Held various roles within supported programs including Systems Engineering Integration & Test(SEIT) Lead, Receiver Subject Matter Expert (SME), and agile software Product Owner• Fostered strong customer and vendor relationships through participation in technical interchange meetings, working groups, and program reviews• Played a key role in developing technical content for critical milestones reviews such as PDR, CDR, software FQT, and Field Acceptance Tests• Gained frontline management experience as Section Manager 8 systems engineers

I founded Urban Brain Studios while in graduate school as a way to combine my passion for learning, teaching, and software. Our flagship product, Chat Mapper, is a non-linear dialogue editor that enables companies, government agencies, and educators world-wide to seamlessly create, edit, and test complex non-linear scenarios. The product was used to develop materials including eLearning courses, disaster response scenarios, health diagnosis training, research on sales techniques, and strategic planning for the military. The company and product line was acquired by LearnBrite in 2015.

• Engineered custom lens designs for compact wide field-of-view cameras, alongside an opticaltechnique for ex-situ evaluation of customized optical elements for an intraocular camera• Designed and assessed an novel embedded positive mobile ion contamination detector toevaluate hermetic seal quality of bioimplantable devices• Developed a vision simulator integrating eye-tracking and a head-mounted display to assess theimpact of prosthetic vision on sighted volunteers• Conducted human subjects testing to validate monocular depth perception persistence underlow-resolution conditions of retinal prostheses• Developed a Matlab implementation of a simulated annealing algorithm to optimize the design of stratified volume diffractive optical elements• Helped teach four courses for ten semesters
