January 2024 - Present: Trajectory Generation & Motion Control LeadAugust 2023 - Dec 2023: Motion Control Engineer

Joined a mobile manipulation robotics project as Systems Architect, sitting in both software and systems engineering.* Own, stabilize, and improve a robotics system architecture which had been built organically over almost a decade.* Align roadmaps between autonomy, controls, systems, platform, and learning.https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/24/23613214/everyday-robots-google-alphabet-shut-down

Head of R&D software. Built a team and codebase for rapid prototyping of unconventional aircraft.* Built lean, effective team from a core of a few junior engineers by making key hires and setting culture.* Rewrote legacy simulation and control stack wearing IC and TL hats.* Delivered on-schedule first flight milestones of next-gen prototype aircraft.

First engineer on a program that developed a single-seat autonomous eVTOL aircraft.* Responsible for all software and control systems for a series of full-scale prototype aircraft.* Individual: Bootstrapped program by implementing controller, simulator, embedded stack, UI, build infrastructure, etc.* Leadership: As a program founder, participated in all aspects of scaling company to 60 engineers (15 total reports).

Trajectory optimization for an autonomous megawatt energy kite.* Implemented a dynamic optimization tool, including validated system models.* Gave the business org critical missing power output characterization.

Developed flight control and software components for a series of eVTOL prototypes. Delivered inertial navigation system, flight controllers, core libraries, dynamic models, middleware, and a suite of groundstation apps.

Developed a UAV from scratch for L1 adaptive control research. Implemented inertial navigation system, designed avionics, integrated the prototype, and remotely piloted flight tests.

Design, layout, and testing of ASICs for various particle accelerators including the LHC.
