  • Oct 2023 - Present

  We build tools to extract insight from data.

• Vehicle Systems and Data Engineer (Senior Research Associate)

  • Oct 2020 - Oct 2023

  I create data based tools for safer roads and better vehicle systems. Most of my current work deals with designing algorithms and data pipelines to answer questions about vehicle systems, roadways, and human behavior. I have created scalable interactive analysis tools that are being used by many industry leaders in the automated vehicle systems space.

• Research Associate

  • Jan 2017 - Oct 2020

  I analyze driving behavior and vehicle dynamics collected during various naturalistic driving studies. I write algorithms to detect and characterize specific events and driving patterns seen in human driving.
