Junior Controls & Autonomy Engineer specializing in robotics and trajectory optimization

Seattle, WA3y exp

“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.”

“Analytics professional with hands-on experience turning messy CRM and campaign data into standardized reporting datasets using SQL and Python. At EcoSolutions/EcoServices, they built reusable KPI pipelines, dashboards, and metric definitions that reduced manual reporting and improved time to conversion by roughly 55% through better segmentation and campaign optimization.”

“Junior college basketball coach and former AAU organization operator who has also run his own youth tournaments and provides player development from youth through pro levels. Deeply involved in the full pipeline—scouting via film/social, building relationships with families and college coaches, and producing highlight tapes to help athletes get recruited.”

“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.”
