About

PhD (CS) candidate with hands-on autonomy and robotics experience: improved safety-critical behavior for Kodiak’s self-driving 18-wheeler trucks, increasing overtaking clearance by ~2 feet and reducing safety alerts. Also debugged a C++ SLAM system for 3D colon reconstruction and built a low-budget distributed simulation cluster using Linux, Docker, and Python, plus implemented multi-hop SSH-based comms for an underwater robotics competition minibot.

Key Strengths

  • Improved autonomous truck overtaking-pull-over behavior using rule-based + deep learning inputs
  • Applied physics-based modeling to tune smooth braking under jerk constraints
  • Delivered measurable safety improvement: increased lateral clearance by ~2 ft (0.6 m) and reduced safety alerts
  • Deep debugging of SLAM pipeline (C++ concurrency/mutex issue tied to GPU shader cache and constrained storage)
  • Resourceful distributed compute: built an ad-hoc Linux cluster and orchestrated thousands of simulations with Docker + Python task pooling
  • Pragmatic heterogeneous robot comms: multi-hop SSH tunnel for minibot video + control via Raspberry Pi Zero
