I get lil chips to do big things

Bristol, England, United Kingdom

I help write the software that race teams in every category use to understand and optimize their performance.

San Jose, California

Pre-acquisition:• Co-founded RightHook, a Silicon Valley start-up which provides closed-loop simulation for automated driving developers.• Developed MVP used to raise $2.5m from top-tier VC funds.• Hired and managed a diverse team of eight developers and contractors.• Worked with developers and other stakeholders to chart out and execute on technology roadmap.• Acquired OEMs, start-ups, and ecosystem partners as customers.• Contributed individually in simulation architecture in Unreal Engine, agent-based modeling for traffic simulation, and map-to-environment pipeline using geographic information systems (GIS).• Acquired by Spectris plc to partner with another recent acquisition, VI-Grade srl, on a high-framerate, real-time, driver-in-the-loop sim.Post-acquisition:• Integrated VI-Grade’s vehicle dynamics and simulation command and control systems into existing RightHook systems.• Transitioned product from a non-real-time, offline simulator aimed at L4 development to real-time, high-framerate online simulator aimed at L2/L3 development, realeasing VI-WorldSim.• Transitioned management of team and product to a point where I could step away.

Palo Alto, Ca

• Designed, simulated, and implemented an engine for learning, storing, and previewing high-definition map geometry.• Designed and simulated model predictive controller for vehicle steering in the presence of obstacles.• Built out test vehicle for camera-based localization and mapping using Mobileye development system, CAN hardware, and Linux/Android embedded compute.• Conducted due diligence on novel technology from startups.• Authored 15+ provisional patents.

Dearborn, Mi

• Continuing and expanding on work from May 2013 – Aug. 2013 internship, including work in modeling, estimation, regression, and adaptation.
