• Design sensor fusion algorithms for state-estimation of Einride’s autonomous electric trucks usingGNSS/IMU/INS/LiDAR modalities.
• Integrated GPU-accelerated SLAM algorithms for migration to map-based localization to improvestate-estimation in GNSS denied environments.
• Incorporated an INS into an extended Kalman filter to increase initialization robustness.
• Overhauled sensor pipelines to create sensor agnostic interfaces to our sensor fusion service.
• Hands-on experience in sensor integration, including commissioning, calibration, and driver development.
• Develop data analysis scripts for verification and validation.

Austin, Texas, United States

• Technical lead for E2E debugging, fault-tracing, and analyzing issues across the entire system withproficient knowledge in localization, perception, motion planning, and vehicle control subsystems.
• Architected Einride’s first local RTK base station, which included system design, component selection,hardware-in-the-loop testing, and on-site implementation. Critical in enabling first full-time deployment.
• Uncovered software bugs via fault tracing during vehicle testing. Developed solutions and patched relevantmodules.
• Interfaced with customers and engineering teams to ensure robust operations by reducing vehicledowntime through rapid on-site issue resolution.

Austin, Texas, United States

• Mentored 22 students through 10 labs focused on data acquisition, system identification, dynamic modeling, simulation, and debugging of circuits and software.
• Instructed course on experimental design using Python and Arduino IDE.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana Area

• Transformed a remotely-operated underwater robot to have autonomous capabilities through hardware modifications and development of pose estimation and control system modules.
• Designed and simulated a model-based state observer controller for systems with input delays in MATLAB.
• Implemented the time-delay compensating controller onto the underwater robot using ROS and Python to enable autonomous navigation with high-latency input signals.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana

• Completed custom machining, fabricating, 3D printing, and rapid prototyping jobs.
• Utilized mills, lathes, power tools, 3D printers, and a waterjet to produce precisely dimensioned components.
