I am the technical lead for communication between robots, the iRobot Cloud, and the iRobot mobile application. Our team owns the mapping & planning system for iRobot products (~50M robots sold).• Reduced cloud latency by 15%, by optimizing map data conversion application used between robots, cloud, and mobile app (C++). This application processes >2M data exchanges / day.• Improved the accuracy of Clean Region Recommendation Algorithm by 10-15% through improvements to the DBSCAN clustering algorithm on 3D scene data from robot maps and developing a novel bounding box detection method.• Designed and implemented a new C++ software architecture for SLAM and persistent pose marking system, successfully deployed on 500,000+ production robots.• Developing Python based application to convert low-cost robot map data into mobile app-compatible visualization format, improving accessibility and efficiency

• Developed system in C++ and Python to enable persistent location marking in maps created by mobile robots.• Designed a Bluetooth emitting pet collar that a Roomba can locate and avoid to prevent stress to the pet.• Won 2nd place for Intern IoT challenge for Bluetooth pet collar design.

Atlanta, Georgia, Us

• Developed an Interactive Data Visualization plugin for Geographic Data• Utilized KDE Marble API and C++/Qt to display an interactive map and render data onto it.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Us

• Developed Motion Planning software using C++ and ROS to allow a robotic arm to plan to and pick an object in a cluttered bin.• Wrote code in C++ to simulate motion planning of a robotic arm in ROS.• Created model of a robotic arm using Universal Robot Description Format (URDF) for use in motion planning simulations.

• Wrote Python script for multimodal sensor to collect thermal and force data from household objects for object recognition tasks.• Wrote Python script to collect and plot temperature data of household objects from a Thermal Imaging Camera for use in material recognition.• Built a sensor with force and thermal modalities for Thermal Ambiguity Experiments.
