Experience

Zebra Technologies (Formerly Fetch Robotics)

Senior Robotics Engineer (May 2022-Present)

  • Proposed, designed, implemented and documented the robots behavior formalizing interactions between features and complying with the R15.08 standard.
  • Lead cross-functional workshops to decide a standard C++ Networking Pattern which would leverage newly developed infrastructure (Buff and Connect) while taking into account application and security requirements.
  • Worked with Technical Project Manager and other Tech Leads to build standardized process for ticketing.

Robotics Engineer (November 2021-May 2022)

  • Supported and developed features for internal core cloud robotics platform.
  • Documented common tasks and tribal knowledge.

AutoRoboto at Deepmind (Formerly Google Brain)

Research Engineer (SWE/Roboticist) (January 2019 - March 2021)

  • Built custom infrastructure for 3 robotic platforms and related hardware in C++ and Python on Linux.
  • Provided robotics and infrastructure subject matter expertise to researchers on a variety of robotic research projects.
  • Lead integration to replace custom research team infrastructure with standardized infrastructure, taking advantage of larger tooling efforts.
  • Reviewed and contributed to 4 papers published at the Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL).

Conference on Reinforcement Learning (CoRL) 2020

Video Proceedings Co-Chair (November 2020)

  • Wrote video standards and coordinated 165 submissions within a two week timeframe.

Oregon State University

Graduate Research Assistant, Personal Robotics Group, Oregon State University (September 2016 - November 2018)

  • Developed a wheelchair serial driver in C++ and ROS removing the need for a Raspberry Pi and custom PCB.
  • The improvements in the networking hardware and implementation of the serial driver greatly reduced the system footprint and brought installation time down from 45 minutes to 5 minutes.
  • Added logging to Go Baby Go Project (low-cost mobility platforms for infants with disabilities) in collaboration with the Kinesiology department, unblocking data collection for on going research.

Graduate Teaching Assistant, Senior Level Instrumentation and Measurements, OSU (Fall 2017, Winter 2018)

  • Taught student labs in a one-on-one setting, as well as group settings (groups of 30). Material covered Electrical Fundamentals, Arduino Programming, and Sensor Integration.

Undergraduate Research Assistant, Personal Robotics Group,Oregon State University (June 2013 - May 2016)

  • Initiated, Designed, built and evaluated several iterations of a self driving wheelchair

SuitX

Electrical Engineering Intern (June 2016 - September 2016)

  • Redesigned and updated 14 custom PCBs in EagleCAD for both medical and industrial exoskeletons.
  • Established the workflow and standards for electrical design and validation for the company.

Education

  • Masters of Science: Robotics, Oregon State University, Advisor Dr. William Smart (2018)

    Researched semi-autonomous wheelchairs for people with extreme physical disabilities (ALS, Quadriplegia and SMA).

  • Bachelor of Science: Computer Science, Oregon State University (2016)
