I'm a computer vision engineer with expertise in SLAM, autonomous driving, and robotics software architecture.

🛣️ 3D maps: reconstruction, visualization, scaling

✨ lidar and point cloud data

💫 least squares optimizers

🗑️ cleaning up C++ code so that the reader gets warm tingly feelings

🥨 Lie theory libraries and learning how the 3D world works

🍎 [2022-now] I currently work on the computer vision algorithms team for the vision products group (VPG) @ apple

🚘 [2016-2022] previously I was a founding engineer @ nuro.ai, and built the mapping and localization stacks for self driving robots

☢️ [2015-2016] before that I was a PhD student @ berkeley AI research lab working on nuclear radiation mapping (I didn't finish...)

🚕 [2015-2016] I spent a few summers working on self driving cars @ waymo and google X

🤖 [2013-2015] I got my masters degree in robotics @ CMU, building real-time 3D maps with big lidar-equipped quadrotors

💧 [2009-2013] in undergrad I worked on building 3D maps of underwater caves in Malta for archaeologists
