Design and Develop core architectural services for autonomous functionality

Arlington, Va, Us

Developed a plugin architecture (in C++) for the calibration and alignment of a real-time flight simulator system for the T7-A, F-15, and Apache programs.VR integration with existing flight simulation software.Implemented a code review process to continuously improve the quality of code outputted by the team

Cupertino, California, Us

Implemented Continuous Integration methods for testing Apple hardware, utilized GitLab CI/CD pipelineDesigned backend models, implemented REST automation interfaces, Frontend UI design (Full Project Ownership), automated daily/weekly testing tasks in a continual improvement fashionHardware characterization/limit testing, worked with various teams to administer solutions to discovered bugsUtilized the data visualization tool Tableau to characterize the performance of hardware

Cambridge, Ma, Us

Utilized ROS on the Baxter robotic arm to identify different objects by common categories (wrenches, hammers, screwdrivers, etc)Determined baseline evaluations of existing object detection techniques to compare adding additional classesSuperUROP in Augmented One-Shot Learning, implemented a Hierarchical Bayesian model with a matching network to improve few shot accuracies, evaluate object hierarchy, and learn

Fairfax, Va, Us

Researched and designed a demonstration for a new product involving homomorphic encryption techniquesImplemented SHA3 hash algorithm on already encrypted data for signature purposesDeveloped a web-based attribute-based encryption application to encrypt batch DoD files (Django)

El Segundo, California, Us

Designed and implemented a characterization test to qualify a passive thermal switchDesigned and constructed a motor testbed to test control algorithms, measure motor attributes, and characterize the unplanned motion of motors and their loadsUtilized ROS Gazebo to simulate a cube balloon, characterized its thrusters, implemented a PID control algorithm, and integrated an IMU, sonar, and camera (Aruco marker tracking) into the PID controller
