I'm a robotic software engineer passionate about building robust autonomous systems—from perception and calibration to localization and mapping. I hold a master’s degree in Robotics from the University of Pennsylvania and currently work full-time at Latitude AI.

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Latitude AI
Jan 2025 – Present | Palo Alto, California, United States
Calibration

### Software Engineer Intern, Calibration @ Latitude AI
Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | Palo Alto, California, United States
Implemented a radar odometry based on Doppler Iterative Closest Point (DICP).
Outperforms LiDAR odometry, allowing robust radar integration to online calibration.

### 3D Vision Research Assistant @ University of Pennsylvania
Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
Novel view rendering via Gaussian Splatting.
Gaussian sampling based on Multi-View Stereo (MVS) cost volumes.

### Autonomous Driving Intern @ Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI)(工業技術研究院, 工研院)
Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Hsinchu County, Taiwan
Worked on LiDAR localization fault detection, collaborating with a team of 20+ people through GitHub. 
Designed an algorithm to detect if Normal Distribution Transformation (NDT) is trapped in local minimum. 
Achieved real-time execution capability, ensuring seamless Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) updates.

### Camera Localization Intern @ URSROBOT Inc.
Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Taipei City, Taiwan
Led RGBD Localization project for URSrobot's lawnmower robots.
Enhanced frontend tracker to overcome limited feature points and scene vibration in lawn environments. 
Improved performance of ORB-SLAM on NVIDIA Jetson Nano, increasing FPS from 7Hz to 15Hz.

### Robotic Research Assistant @ National Taiwan University
Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Taipei, Taiwan
Innovated a specialized Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filter (RBPF), fusing ORB-SLAM and GMapping.
Implemented A* path search on 2D occupancy grid maps. 
Executed system integration on Robot Operating System (ROS) and validated on Pioneer 3-DX robot.
