## Work Experience
### Senior perception Software Engineer @ Overland AI
Jan 2023 – Present | Seattle, Washington, United States

### Sensor Fusion Engineer @ Embark Trucks
Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | San Francisco, California, United States
●	Map-Free Localization: Deployed a novel real-time localization algorithm that eschews pre-mapped road data. This enables AVs to navigate unexpected scenes-such as construction zones-without human intervention.
●	MapSim: Deployed production-scale sensor simulator to test perception algorithms. Provided technical support for cross-functional company users of MapSim (quality-assurance, planning, controls, etc…) 
●	LIDAR Mapping and Localization: Prototyped and developed large-scale environment mapping system using laser ranging sensors. Vehicles use the lidars to localize themselves on the map in real time under autonomous control.
○	Project Lead: Designed project roadmap and directed a small team of two engineers to deliver intermediate milestones.
