Leading Firmware/Software for AC Charging and Optimus Charging at Tesla.

I lead the AC Charging Embedded Software team at Tesla.

• led the development of the Universal Wall Connector, which won awards for the best AC EV charger.

• shipped Tesla PowerShare V2H feature which allows Cybertruck to power customers' homes for days at a time.

• proposed improvements to the ISO 15118 and OCPP protocols that are being worked into the next editions of their specs.

Helping enable cheaper, greener, simpler electric vehicle charging, for everyone.

• Brought in to lead the effort to enable Chevrolet owners to use their EV smart charging service.

• Drove this particularly challenging integration to completion, requiring the creation of a Secure Credential Service, along with many other creative solutions to work around Chevrolet API limitations.

• Support for Chevrolet is now a unique selling point for the company and resulted in them winning multiple contracts with various energy providers in the US.

Set the engineering foundation for an exciting new startup in the field of mental health coaching for young people.

• Grew a small team of contractors and we built the MVP app, backend service and admin dashboards.

• Collaborated closely with the product and design team and managed to adapt to their changing requirements as the company figured out exactly what we wanted to build.

• Successfully launched the MVP.

Developed an idea related to implementing road-use pricing in a much more efficient way.

• Worked with a freelancer to prototype the system using TensorFlow Lite (YOLOv4) and Flutter.

• Applied for multiple patents (provisional and non-provisional) which I wrote with the help of an attorney.

• Produced a mathematical model for calculating how many detectors would be needed to reach a given detection rate and validated it using the SUMO traffic simulator.

• Ultimately decided surveillance tech wasn't something I wanted to spend my time working on.
