I am currently working on capture systems at Meta's Virtual Reality Lab in Pittsburgh, where I have developed algorithms that enable robots to calibrate all cameras with minimal human effort.

Before this, I worked on motion planning and control for self-driving cars at Uber ATG (2015–2021) and Aurora Innovation (2021–2023), where I developed algorithms that enabled autonomous vehicles to navigate complex real-world scenarios.

From 2013 to 2015, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, focusing on full-body motion planning and control for humanoid robots. I participated in the DARPA Robotics Challenge with Team WPI-CMU, where I led the egress task—getting the robot out of the car. We completed the task in under four minutes with a 100% success rate, and we were the only Atlas team that never fell.

Beyond robotics, I worked on GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) logic design at S3 Graphics, which sparked my interest in harnessing computational power to drive advanced AI. I also contributed to the C919 large passenger jet project, gaining solid experience in systems engineering for safety-critical system design.

I am a curious learner and a passionate explorer in the fields of AI, robotics, and automation.
