AI-assisted flight monitoring and continuous route optimization for airlinesFS DX will give dispatchers the power to manage IROPS events before they happen, improve on-time performance, reduce climate impact, and realize significant fuel savings.My role is to design, build, expand, and maintain the core planning pipeline, integrate with backend, and expose to the user-facing products. A fast, responsive, millisecond-scale pipeline is key to real-time interaction with the users.

- STANAG 4586 integration for Group 3 aircraft- C++, distributed (message passing) systems- Contingency planning at executive level- Single and multi-agent systems at mid-to-high TRL

- Built a deck with my father-in-law- Made diet.py - a weightloss analysis toolkit: https://github.com/jodavaho/dietpy- Contributed new methods to the NASA Navigation and Ancillary Information library SPICE: https://github.com/GregoireHENRY/rust-spice (Rust)- Freelance work for a stealth mode startup (ongoing) in planning, scheduling, and routing for a very large industry. (Rust, algorithms)- Added functionality to the space telemetry API : https://api.jodavaho.io/s/readme

Principal Software Engineer in the Mission Planning group. Design and implementation of a multi-agent scheduling and routing stack for truck/rail yard operations.Project highlights:- Massive speedups to the Mission Planning pipeline though good old algorithms optimization- Massive speedups to the Site Feasibility Analysis, through good old distributed computing- Homebrew distributed real-time logging and metrics

Since Amazon cancelled the Canvas program, where I worked for 5 months, I am currently on hiatus from any significant responsibilities while I look for new work. Canvas was one of many research programs cancelled, with most folks intended to find new roles in the company.

I manage a Motion Planning and Controls team to design, build, test, and deploy autonomous mobile robots into Amazon fulfillment centers. These robots assist human associates and allow Amazon operations to scale.

R&D autonomy algorithms and software for distributed autonomy and multi-robot systems for the US Marine Corps, US Navy, and space flight missions.Main interests and research focuses:- Distributed Autonomy, Decision Making, Consensus- Multi-Agent Mission and Path Planning - Space Flight Software Development- Deep Space NetworkingProject Highlights:- [2017-2020] PI: Network and routing protocols for distributed computation over deep space networks- [2015-2020] PI: High speed, robust, adaptive control for multiple autonomous vehicles- [2017-2018] TL: distributed photogrammetry and SLAM for multi-rover system- [2016-2018] TL: Fully autonomous long-range transits of multiple autonomous vessels- [2015-2018] TL: Collaborative deployment of UUVs / Quads from autonomous naval vessels- [2015-2016] Robust decision and task allocation for collaborative heterogeneous robots- [2016-2017] Member of Mars 2020 Rover R&D (GNC / Path Planning) and flight software development.- [2016] Model-based prediction, tracking, and state estimation- [2015] Stereo and Bundle Adjustment for visual target tracking

Designed GIS plugins and ML-based terrain feature extraction to enable one or more robots to navigate and localize using topological information

Studied the effect of the next-generation of spaceflight computing on mission design. Implemented distributed scheduling algorithms to field test the ability of robots to autonomously offload computational tasks to nearby CPU-heavy resources in real-time.
