Maintaining, expanding, and designing a fleet of robots.

Led a growing operations team of up to 22 to provide support to multiple fast moving, cutting edge research projects.

In the field of imitation learning I led a team which collected over 125 thousand expert demonstrations of a variety of tasks that were then used to train BC and RL models. This is likely the largest robotics IL dataset in the world.

Designed experimental procedures and ran over 1000 individual experiments to date.

Operated 23 robots both under supervision and autonomously and created safety procedures to do so.

CAD modeling and 3d printing of attachments to robots.

Wrote scripted behaviors to improve the human interaction with the robot.

Wrote queries for key operational metrics defined by me and my superiors.

Test Engineer in robotics at X, The Moonshot Factory via contract. Added testing coverage, both unit and integration tests, across several projects.

Worked extensively alongside researchers in machine learning to develop and execute experiments.

Added updates to existing internal tools and reduced complexity in utility bash scripts.

• Develop, test and deploy cloud-based e-filing solutions.

Researcher for the Dynamics Autonomous Navigation Surface Engineering and Robotics (DANSER) Lab in conjunction with the Assistive Sociotechnical Solutions for Individuals with Special needs through Technology (ASSIST) Lab at University of California Santa Cruz.

The project:

* A Unity based, virtual reality game which would require the users to perform physical therapy while being more entertaining than traditional constraint based methods. The game was designed specifically with stroke victims in mind.

Responsibilities:

* Conducting user testing and using it to gain data, both quantitative and qualitative, to focus on areas to improve the game.

* Implement any improvements or suggestions discovered in the user testing in our C# Unity game.

* Add a system to log the physical data of the users through the built in HTC vive tools. Send that physical data to an SQL database via a back end PHP script. Eventually would like this to be animated/visualized data so therapists could view their patients progress without the patients having to go through the ordeal of getting to the office.
