Developing a novel approach to fine-tuning LLMs using embodied representations to improve generalization to out-of-distribution data. Working on grounding language representations in robotics controls.Software Engineer

Website: paisleymicro.com◦ Co-developed a high-performance motion control board with PCIe Gen 3, Dual LAN, an H7 Processor, and Cellularcapability.◦ Managed logistics and coordinated with factories for production runs, ensuring timely delivery and quality control.◦ Wrote comprehensive documentation and firmware to support the control board’s functionality and user experience

◦ Engineered a visualization and testing suite for the autonomous vehicle’s perception system. Integrated LiDAR and Stereo Vision data to create a 3D point cloud and visualize it in real-time, allowing for real-time testing.◦ Slashed perception pipeline latency by 50% through parallel processing optimization (CuPy, CUDA), achieving real-time operation and unifying multi-sensor data streams into a cohesive representation model.

Developed websites for small businesses and institutions; E.g., transformed Mindspire Tutoring’s website into their most effective lead-generation tool, attracting 189K total visits and driving increased customer engagement; published two public-facing websites for Duke/Duke Health.
