## Work Experience
### Founding Engineer @ Undermind
Jan 2025 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area

### Machine Learning Engineer @ Miso Robotics
Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | California, United States
I used reinforcement learning to help the robot make better decisions about what to do and when to do it  in the wonderfully chaotic environment of a fast-food kitchen. I also made sure data got from sensors to dashboards reliably and on time so teams could actually use it. (More technical details below.)

Reinforcement learning scheduling algorithms
  - extended the simulation’s state representation
  - tuned hyperparameters for stable, higher-performing training
  - built visualization tooling to make policy behavior interpretable and faster to debug

Data platform
  - designed and implemented AWS pipelines with Terraform
  - established stable multi-environment production practices and managed releases
  - delivered reporting/observability (recurring customer reports, dashboards, and alerts) for real-time fleet health and long-term trends.
