Optimizing and developing deep reinforcement learning algorithms for an AI fighter pilot software using Python, CoRL, and RLlib. Trained models on GPU cluster and AWS compute instances. Wrote reward structures improving agent ability to defeat hostile missiles using countermeasures by 95%. Increased efficient usage of countermeasure by 84%.

Los Angeles, California, United States

Visual Machines Group at UCLAUndergraduate research project supervised on the applications of 3D Gaussian Splatting for physics simulations. Tested and implemented pipeline to convert 2D images to 3D Gaussian Splatting representation and 3D mesh for use with Blender physics simulations. Built web app front end with Python and Streamlit and used Google.

Part of STR’s team for autonomous drone guidance and tactical swarm project using DARPA distributed-system architecture. Designed and implemented a testing regimen to increase system robustness in simulator engine and 3-D environments. Communicated and collaborated directly with developers from other companies to set up and adapt a 3D-simulation.

Designed and prototyped an object detection system in Keras/Tensorflow that reduces reliance on human-annotated, pre-existing datasets by training Mask-RCNN object segmentation model with synthetic data. Enabled generalization of the system to different applications by extracting object position data and separately classifying objects using fine-tunable.
