Developing the hardware platforms and teams to demonstrate Wayve's AI driver. Demonstrated Wayve's AV 2.0 AI ability to generalize across locations and vehicle platforms, based on a low cost and mass scalable hardware platform and data collection.Founded and built up Wayve's California office, attracting core AI and HW talent. Also built up and managed Program Management and Supply Chain teams.

Developed and scaled teams and autonomous vehicle fleets to address goods delivery.Built the Hardware team from a small prototyping group to the team that delivered the R2 delivery vehicle, next generation Prius test vehicle, and the production R3 sensors and vehicle with BYD.

I lead a multi-disciplined team developing advanced Radars for L4 autonomous vehicles. My team and I have developed the Radars that guided the Lexus, Prototype, and Pacifica vehicles. We've customized the use of automotive radar to the needs of these vehicles and created fundamentally new operating modes and capabilities.

I work on the Self-Driving Car team, leading a team developing advanced sensors with improved range, resolution, and tracking ability to aid the vehicle's view of it's environment. My major contributions have been helping assemble the team, developing the product roadmap, designing the hardware platforms, setting up the production and test infrastructure, and deploying 100s of these sensors to the current fleets.
