## Work Experience
### Senior Software Engineer @ Amazon
Jan 2022 – Present | Greater Seattle Area
Founding engineer/tech lead of a team that delivered mission-critical embedded software for Kuiper customer terminals. 

Architected the first-gen RF control plane for customer terminals, an embedded system written in Rust/C++ that orchestrates the link layer operations with Kuiper satellites (i.e., sub-millisecond beam forming, initial network entry, time-varying channel, radio link failure recovery, antenna calibration) to enable seamless ground-to-space communications. 

Sole inventor of a patent for a novel image stitching system, leveraging first principles in computer vision and augmented reality domains. It is implemented as a Kuiper mobile app feature that runs entirely on-device to detect obstruction in the sky during customer terminal installation, and is demonstrably faster than the Starlink equivalent.
