- Served as technical lead for lidar infrastructure pipeline that communicates with sensors, decodes lidar packet data, assembles packet data into point clouds, and monitors sensor health- Collaborated cross-functionally to bring-up self-driving system on multiple new vehicle platforms

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US

- Extended lidar infrastructure pipeline to support streaming lidar point clouds: implemented performance-critical data structures, maintained backward compatibility with legacy system, and led extensive design reviews with perception teams to understand customer requirements- Led bring-up of short-range lidar pipeline: discussed requirements with external.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US

- Designed and implemented lidar sweep reconstruction system: devised compact representation scheme to minimize data logged onboard, wrote tool to generate replica lidar sweeps offline- Created library for Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network inference on CPU: prioritized performance by enforcing no dynamic memory allocations, built tooling to.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US

- Adapted build system to cross-compile autonomous vehicle (AV) codebase for ARM architecture- Implemented experimental framework for interprocess communication of GPU device memory in camera processing pipeline to evaluate feasibility of next-generation AV compute options

- Demonstrated use of transfer-learning to train Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to classify images taken by STP-H5/CSP (Space Test Program - Houston 5 / CHREC Space Processor) on International Space Station and viability of CSP to run CNN inference using TensorFlow Lite- Published "Machine Learning Space Applications on Small-Sat Platforms With.
