Vetted Education Professionals in the Greater Seattle

“MS thesis work in the University of Washington Autonomous Controls Lab building a full quadrotor guidance/navigation/control stack, including high-fidelity dynamics modeling and an SCP trajectory optimizer made robust to wind via trust regions and MPC-style replanning. Also built an autonomous RC car using ROS on Jetson Xavier with ZED stereo/VIO, implementing perception (point cloud filtering/clustering) and state estimation while addressing real-time synchronization and latency challenges.”

“DXArts PhD researcher and recent UW capstone contributor building autonomous robotics systems with ROS2 (SLAM Toolbox, Nav2) and Gazebo simulation. Currently focused on integrating a 9-DOF SparkFun IMU with motor controls on Raspberry Pi, and developing OpenCV ArUco-marker tracking for an automated BlueROV that can locate and retrieve underwater targets in collaboration with mechanical engineering.”

“Machine Learning Intern at Docsumo who delivered a customer-facing fraud-detection solution end-to-end: rebuilt the pipeline, deployed a Random Forest model, and shipped a Python/Flask microservice on AWS SageMaker. Drove measurable production impact (precision +30%, processing time cut in half, manual review -60%, customer satisfaction +15%) and demonstrated strong customer integration and live-incident response skills.”

“Python backend developer from Larix Technologies who built and scaled microservice APIs for an omnichannel messaging SaaS (WhatsApp/Instagram/Facebook) and led production performance fixes during peak traffic, cutting webhook latency ~50%. Also shipped applied AI products end-to-end: a RAG-based PDF assistant (LangChain + Mixtral via Groq + React) and a BI agent that plans/executes/verifies multi-step analytics with strong guardrails and auditability.”
