Developing high-performance systematic trading systems for a leading market maker.* Principal architect and technical lead for a new market access controls library. Developed optimized C++ template code and deployed it globally across Citadel’s systematic trading desks to effectively manage risk. * Designed a fault-tolerant service to stream real-time trading data into Kafka. This service collects data from over 3,000 sensitive trading systems worldwide and processes several billion messages every day.* Designed a single-writer, multi-reader lockless shared memory queue with support for gaps and out-of-order writes. Currently integrating this code into a proprietary reliable multicast implementation.* Directly managing a full-time engineer and coordinating tasks for a few other junior engineers on the team.* Other responsibilities include managing data transformations for regulatory reporting to FINRA, overseeing improvements to our Intermarket Sweep Orders (ISO) stack, and maintaining our equities trading platform.

Worked at a fast-paced startup designing floor cleaning robots for the hospitality industry.* Developed a novel SLAM algorithm using Adaptive Monte-Carlo Localization (AMCL) as a starting point. Implemented the algorithm in C++ and tuned it for use on a resource-constrained embedded computer.* Developed state machines for navigation, a spatial data tracking system, and several other software components within the Robot Operating System (ROS) framework. Deployed this in Docker to our robot.* Prototyped, tested, and worked on board bring-up for various electronics onboard the robot. Developed drivers for LiDAR, I2C and a custom display. Wrote firmware in C for multiple ARM and AVR microcontrollers.* Developed a simulation model in Gazebo and used it to improve software testing infrastructure.

Lead a team of 7 engineers to design embedded sensing and logging systems for an off-road racing vehicle.* Designed a wireless data acquisition system (DAQ) using a 32-bit ARM microcontroller and Raspberry Pi. Coordinated responsibilities to integrate mechanical, electronic and software systems into a polished product.* Attended SAE competitions and consistently ranked in the top 3 among hundreds of participating teams

Held office hours, graded assignments and exams for Embedded Systems (ECE 3140) at Cornell University.

Worked with PhD students on software and electronics for autonomous robots.* Researched and implemented path planning and path following algorithms in C#. Implemented pose estimation based on fiducial markers in OpenCV. Deployed this to a Segway RMP robot.* Designed a custom PCB for CAN isolation and integrated it on a research robot.* Implemented C++ code in the Robot Operating System (ROS) framework for the Clearpath Jackal.

Taught Python by preparing exercises and teaching sessions for a class of 20 students.

Held office hours, conducted one-on-one sessions, graded assignments and exams for Python (CS 1110).

Debugged circuit boards and embedded software for an early stage startup.* Gained experience with quick prototyping, lab equipment and reflow soldering.* Gained experience with software debugging and programming microcontrollers in C.

Worked with a team of engineers to debug motor drives manufactured by Rockwell Automation. Studied analog power circuitry used in over-current and over-voltage detection.

Worked on programming, testing and deploying programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
