I build perception, autonomy, and learning systems for robots that work in the real world.
I'm an Applied Scientist on the Robotics team at General Motors, working on perception and autonomy for embodied systems. Before this I was a Robotics & AI Engineer at Maven Robotics in the SF Bay Area, and earlier earned my master's at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University.
At CMU I worked with Koppers Inc. on an industrial cleaning robot as a sponsored capstone — leading the perception, autonomy and planning subsystems — and researched active perception for robotic manipulation at the Momentum Robotics Lab under Prof. Jeff Ichnowski.
I like engineering solutions that bring real-world betterment through automation — particularly in healthcare, energy, and manufacturing. Past efforts include the Dual-Axis Solar Tracker and an RCT Volume Estimator built for dentists at MAIDS, Delhi, among others.
