I’m a robotics software engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area, currently working on autonomous driving AI at Zoox. My work spans intelligent driving behavior, trajectory generation, motion planning, controls, machine learning, and systems engineering for real-world autonomy. Over the past several years, I’ve worked across autonomous vehicles, robot control, applied ML, and research-focused engineering. I’ve contributed to production autonomy systems, built AI workflows for fleet issue triage, published research in motion planning and robot learning, and contributed to patents in autonomous vehicle systems. I’m happy to speak with students, engineers, researchers, founders, or technical teams about robotics, autonomous vehicles, motion planning, AI in physical systems, graduate research, career transitions into autonomy, and how to build technical depth in this field. Good topics for a 1-on-1: - Robotics and autonomous vehicle career guidance - Motion planning, controls, and decision-making - Breaking into autonomy or robotics software roles - Research direction and graduate school planning - Resume, portfolio, and project feedback - AI systems for real-world robotics applications My goal is to make each conversation practical, honest, and useful.
