Background

Robotics in simulation and flight.

At Carnegie Mellon’s AirLab, I developed visual localization systems for UAVs, connecting computer vision and state estimation with onboard software and flight testing. My work ranged from simulation-based localization research to localization running on a Jetson payload during real flights.

At NASA JPL, I worked on spacecraft instrumentation, from prototype electronics through flight-hardware delivery. At Motional, my work has included production ML and search tools for autonomous-vehicle data.

Alongside that work, I build robots and software of my own, including LangVault, a Mandarin study app shaped by my own learning.
