San Francisco, California, United States

Senior Software Engineer on Orchestration of MLI

As part of the machine learning infrastructure team:I was technical Lead for the backend of L5's Behavior Introspection pipeline which allowed ML engineers to understand the behavior affect of their models in simulation. Significant contributor to open sourcing Wicker, L5's ML Dataset Framework

Palo Alto, California

Developed Behavior Planning algorithms at Lyft L5 and was a key contributor of a group responsible for a two order of magnitude increase in a key metric for the autonomy stack

Greater Detroit Area

Developed and refined the behavior and motion planning algorithms for L4 and L3 autonomous systemsLead the Behavior Planning team as a scrum leader to drive development for C-suite demonstrations.

Teaching first year grad students the ins and outs of embedded control algorithms

Littleton, Massachusettes

Heavy R&D work into formulating the next generation of Proton Therapy System.Prototyped the ‘dynamic collimation subsystem’, a precisely controllable multi-axis collimator for real time proton beam collimation during patient treatment. Implemented Multiphysics Monte Carlo simulation for next generation cyclotron design. Simulations informed critical design decisions.
