• Software Engineer - Systems

  • May 2021 - Jun 2022

  I worked as a Software Engineer on the Systems team at Avidbots, where I have a pretty broad purview in what I work on. I worked on everything from the low level control mechanisms that make Neo's components run, to the GUI that users use to tell Neo how to clean. I also spent a large amount of time working on the safety and reliability monitors that help Neo run safely, reliably, and without incident. Some of the things I've worked on are: • Developed code for safety critical software, fault detection, and monitoring of the Neo 2 robot • Designed and implemented improved safety stop systems to prevent incidents arising from operator error and ensure safety • Implemented hardware interfacing and calibration procedures for disinfection system Show less

• Graduate Student Researcher

  • Sep 2018 - May 2021

  I was a graduate student at the University of Waterloo, working with Dr. William Melek and Dr. George Shaker on augmenting methods of visual odometry and methods of cooperation between ground and aerial vehicles. Some of the things I worked on include: - Researched fusion of radar into visual odometry to directly observe scale and aid in depth estimation - As thesis, developed visual-inertial visual odometry fused with radar for use online on drone, and proved the augmented method better than current state of the art methods - Used radar data for mapping of terrain and surface modeling using PCL - Performed fusion of radar and camera data for accurate surface reconstruction - Performed aerial terrain segmentation using deep learning on camera data Show less

• Processing Software Lead

  • May 2018 - Apr 2019

  I worked with Watonomous on functional goals for our second year of competition. The Processing team, under my leadership, was responsible for taking information extracted by our perception teams and turning it into an accurate representation of the environment. This includes combining data from cameras, LiDARs, and radars, as well as object tracking and moving object calculation, and finally some error correction.

• Local Mapping Subteam Lead

  • Jan 2018 - May 2018

  I worked as part of a group of motivated students to build a self-driving car for GM's Autodrive Challenge. I was responsible for running the Local Mapping Subteam, which was responsible for the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(SLAM) systems running on the car. We worked with existing SLAM algorithms, implementing state of the art research to provide as accurate data as possible. We also performed optimization using the Intel OpenCL for FPGA package, to make our algorithms run efficiently.
