I am excited to be helping to develop autonomous robotic disassembly for electric vehicle battery recycling with Rose City Robotics.At Rose City Robotics our goal is to increase lithium-ion battery recovery rates from 5% to over 90%. To achieve this we are committed to closing the loop on the lifecycle of lithium-ion batteries, increasing recovery values, enabling second-life applications and ensuring that critical metals are not wasted but instead recovered as strategic domestic resources to power the next generation of clean energy and electrification solutions.Leveraging machine learning and transformer neural networks, we collect and utilize sensor and vision data to enhance robot hardware with adaptive and predictive motion planning capabilities. Our software can then use this data to train custom robots to perform these dangerous and challenging tasks with adaptive intelligence with continuous learning capabilities.

I built Shiro to enable teams to quickly iterate on large language model prompts, by performing qualitative and quantitative comparisons of variations on prompt language, parameters, models, and even model providers across a suite of test cases. I developed the platform from scratch using Ruby and Python, integrating with all the major large language model providers including OpenAI, Google, Mistral, Anthropic, AWS, and Microsoft. I created the tool to help businesses quickly optimize their internal AI processes during the rapidly evolving scramble to test, validate and implement the latest and greatest AI technologies.
