18 week internship, collaborating with NVIDIA's Seattle Robotics Research Lab• Develop parameter optimization framework for Riemannian motion policies in C++, speedup by thousands of times• Devise reference scenario interface allowing prototyping, benchmarking, and visualization support• Extend library by implementing dynamic obstacles and obstacle collision detection, adding support for new robots (i.e. UR10), researching cost function, and formulating novel reference test scenarioshttps://www.nvidia.com/en-us/research/robotics/

USC Makers is a project-oriented club that has many teams working on different hardware-focused projects, including IoT, robotics and embedded systems. I joined the club in Spring 2017 as a software and hardware developer, and I became a project manager for one of the teams starting Spring 2018. Here are some projects that I have led:1. Autonomous Soccer Robot(https://ethany.me/robotics/software/hardware/2020/04/17/Robonaldo.html)2. Magic Mirror (https://ethany.me/software/hardware/iot/2020/04/18/Magic-Mirror.html)3. Nerf Gun Sentry Gun(https://ethany.me/software/hardware/computervision/2020/04/23/obliterator9000.html)Here are some of my duties:• Led and set weekly agendas for general and departmental (software and hardware) team meetings• Hosted workshops on Node.js, Raspberry Pi, ROS, and general software and hardware development and good practices• Established feedback systems and coordinated one-on-one meetings to boost productivity • Contributed to project manager discussions on effective ways to increase productivity and effectiveness within teams, wrote part of the club's project manager guide

This is my second summer working on TensorRT, NVIDIA's programmable Deep Learning inference optimizing interface. My main project was developing a randomized neural network testing pipeline (C++/Python) to supplement thousands of test cases for TensorRT.

I'm currently a developer at USC's Code the Change, a student organization that drives social impact through software projects for non-profit organizations. Currently I'm working on a project called MedMind, a mobile application that helps cancer patients track and manage their drug usage. We are partnering with CancerBase, a non-profit aiming to facilitate innovative cancer research and allow people with cancer to connect from around the world. I am developing on the application using React Native and Redux on Expo IDE (JavaScript and JSX).Our GitHub Repository: https://github.com/ehu-ai/medmindOur Website: https://www.medmind.co/
