Professional
Welcome! I build self-driving car technology at Uber ATG as an autonomy engineer focusing on perception and prediction. Previously, I worked at the National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC) with Caterpillar to build self-driving mining trucks. Education-wise, I received a PhD from the Robotics Institute at CMU where I worked on medical robotics, computer vision, controls, and face recognition.
Personal
My current hobbies include the intersection of gardening and technology. While my home state of Florida is green year round, I currently reside in the frozen north of Pittsburgh, which means indoor or greenhouse growing for half the year. When mother nature puts a big white blanket across the landscape, that is a whole new frustrating and exciting adventure of coaxing green things to blossom and fruit.
I also haunt the intertubes at YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, Google (Shared Reader Items), and CMU.
