Manage and lead a cross-functional team of 10+ people responsible for modeling flight dynamics, aerodynamics, actuators, and sensors.

Assist clients with technical expertise in modelling, simulation, control, optimization, and data science across varying industries.Sample projects:* KodiakRobotics (Autonomous Trucking)- Derived physics based models for articulated vehicle dynamics and actuators - Implemented models in simulation and control design/analysis.- Designed candidate gains for lane keeping controllers- Advised team on improvements to planning algorithms* Bearing.ai (MachineLearning/AI applied to maritime shipping) - Integrated an Electronic Chart System (meant for commercial ships) C++ SDK to run on python and deployed it to AWS. Provided ability to check navigability of maritime shipping routes 'on the cloud' - Implemented path finding algorithm to find routes which avoid hazards or restrictions. - created a pipeline to visualize shipping routes, weather, and navigation restrictions.* Capella Space (small satellites)- Adapted a graph optimization algorithm to analyze constellation schedule capacity.- Implemented a proof-of-concept dashboard to visualize the scheduling capacity and constraints.
