Profile: https://flows.cv/edisonlei

I’m a software developer currently working in the self-driving vehicle industry, with a broad set of skills ranging from web apps to device drivers and sensor tools. Self-driven and always looking for opportunities to learn, I am eager to make useful contributions with my knowledge and continue developing my programming skills.

## Work Experience
### Quality Engineer (Software Systems), Simulation Operations @ Lyft Level 5
Jan 2019 – Jan 2021
● Developed C++ and Python evaluation tooling that improved simulation accuracy and reduced debugging time for on-road autonomy disengagements.
● Built internal automation tools (Python/Bash + Buildkite) to streamline simulation regression testing, reducing weekly manual engineering effort and increasing test throughput.
● Integrated hardware-in-the-loop test flows with simulation stack to enable large-scale validation against real onboard vehicle runtime services.
● Led development of targeted regression datasets in collaboration with Perception teams, enabling scalable validation of ML-driven autonomy features(traffic lights, lidar artifacts, bounding box occlusions).

### Software Engineer, Sensor Integration @ drive.ai
Jan 2017 – Jan 2019
● Developed Python and Bash tooling to integrate sensor features (cameras, lidar, radar, IMU, and GPS) and automate system configuration validation, improving fleet reliability and uptime.
● Implemented low-latency C++ IMU driver integrated into real-time pub/sub architecture, improving localization responsiveness for safety-critical behaviors.
● Managed backend infrastructure and automation for Docker-deployed internal Flask calibration app used by hardware, operations, and perception teams.

### Technician @ drive.ai
Jan 2015 – Jan 2017
Supported sensor system integration across autonomous vehicle platforms and built Arduino-based test 
tooling to improve first-article inspection reliability and maximize vehicle operation efficiency.
