Currently the technical lead for the U.S.-based robotics team in Intel's Open Source Technology Center (OSTC). As technical lead, I define the team's vision and transfer the vision into execution by formulating strategies, tactics, and action plans to drive results.• Improved navigation architecture for ROS2, replacing the Nav1 architecture with a more flexible Task/Action-based architecture• Introduced the use of ROS2 lifecycle nodes to Nav2, porting all nodes to enable a reliable navigation system bringup/shutdown, finding and fixing many issues with ROS2 in the process• Developed Behavior Tree-based navigation to provide for flexibility and easy modification of robot behaviors. Split generic behavior Tree functionality into separate Github repository to benefit the ROS2 community• Guided performance analysis of the Navigation2 software stack and optimization of key hotspots across the stack• Currently implementing collaborative, multi-robot scenarios requiring host and network determinism

Technical leader for an autonomous vehicle lab in Portland, Oregon, part of Intel’s Autonomous Driving Solutions Division (ASD) in the Internet of Things Group (IOTG). • Led the team to implement highway pilot functionality using Intel platforms on vehicles provided by a key OEM. Defined the team’s software process, specified the Highway Pilot requirements, designed the software architecture, led the implementation, and defined the testing process. • Led the design and implementation of a full simulation-based testing pipeline, including specification of testing scenarios, parameterization of tests, generation of voluminous testing output, and qualitative analysis of test results.• Lead collaborative efforts with several groups at Intel and at other companies. These efforts help the Portland team to expand its influence and impact.

As a Senior Staff Software Architect and Applications Engineer in Intel’s Developer Relations Division, I worked with ISVs to help them to incorporate Perceptual Computing features into their applications. This included definition of requirements, analysis and optimization of their applications, development of software frameworks, and more.• Initiated and guided the IPP Asynchronous (HPP) library, an acceleration library of video analysis building blocks implemented for both the CPU and the GPU. • Developed Pixelflow, a software framework to enable an Augmented Reality pipeline on Intel GPUs, achieving a significant performance increase and power savings over a CPU-based pipeline.• Analyzed and optimized the performance and power consumption of several Perceptual Computing marquee applications.• Co-developed a touch responsiveness utility using novel video analysis algorithms to automatically detect the responsiveness of touch-based applications.• Implemented the Webspeech API in Firefox, using the Intel PerC SDK.

As a senior staff software architect for the Video Analytics Operation, I was responsible for the overall software vision and execution. I started from a basic concept and took a top-down approach to refine the ideas into a clear set of software interfaces, specifications, and implementation. I utilized the services of a local software development company to develop the ideas and guided them through multiple releases of the Video AnalyticsSDK. I then guided a team in Penang in the target business unit to gradually assume ownership of the software stack and tools. • Analyzed the video analytics domain and refined the ideas into a clear, coherent programming model designed to make it easy for customers to develop algorithms• Specified the Video Analytics API, a scalable, cross-platform interface for video analytics • Co-developed the coprocessor's instruction set and authored the Instruction Set Specification• Defined the video analytics software roadmap, including detailed requirements for each release• Use an iterative development methodology with regular, frequent releases (3-4 month cycles)• Facilitated a smooth transition into the target business unit by ramping the software development team over multiple releases, training their developers, and integrating their software development practices• Received a Division Recognition Award for an “innovative approach to developing a new silicon architecture and programming model.”• Frequent customer interaction, including requirements elicitation and VA SDK training

As the CTO for 3 Leaf, which later became Aeshen, I developed business opportunities, generated project ideas, wrote Statements of Work, specified project requirements, interceded on challenging technical issues, and contributed to resource planning efforts. I also authored technical content and designed and developed software in key areas of my expertise. For our primary customers, Intel and Microsoft, sample technology areas include Viiv, Intel Mobile SDK, EM64T, virtualization, multi-core, multi-threading, C# 3.0/Language Integrated Query (LINQ), and Microsoft Media Center. • Developed the software consulting facet of the business• Co-authored a book for Intel Press, Using Intel®Virtualization Technology• Conceived of and co-developed the Ultra Mobile PC Display Emulator
