Tech lead for various sensor fusion efforts across waymo.

Projects ranged from IC contributions to management of projects across teams of roughly twenty-five to forty people. Managed and deployed Waymo's largest sensor fusion model, consolidating over a dozen nets into a single model. I still spent time training models and writing code while figuring out a hectic meeting schedule.

Responsible for the development, integration, and maintenance of novel long range sensor fusion algorithms. This lead to me spearheading Waymo's long-range sensor fusion strategy. I lead meetings, delegated projects, and presented to leadership while shepherding the work of over a dozen incredible engineers. I still somehow managed to write a ship a fair amount of code myself.

Cross-functionally developed perception algorithms for next-generation radar products alongside hardware engineers.

Collaborated with the research team to push the state-of-the-art in long range sensor fusion.

As one of the original members of the team, I worked across the company designing novel perception algorithms, building low-latency C++17 infrastructure, and pushing several features to the car. I worked on projects spanning mapping, lidar processing, image detection, geometric computer vision, tracking, and core runtime infrastructure.

I spent a fair amount of time at argo leading the development and integration of a deep lidar object detector. This included getting labels, working with labeling companies, cleaning data, writing modeling code, optimizing the model with TensorRT, deploying the model onboard, integrating the output with other teams, and metrics throughout each step of the process (and after!) This then grew to my first tech-lead role of managing the day-to-day projects of around eight people.

To further improve Argo's lidar capabilities, I worked with the Argo Lidar team enhancing the firmware capabilities of our custom geiger-mode lidar sensor.

I also performed novel published research in stereo vision.
