Experience
Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Engineer
Aug 2024 — Present · Chicago, IL, US
I designed real-time C++ sensor-fusion pipelines on RTMaps that merge LiDAR, radar, and camera data to boost detection accuracy by 15% and cut latency by 8%. I replaced our legacy GNN tracker with Hungarian, Jonker-Volgenant, and Munkres algorithms, improving track consistency by 23% and slashing compute time by 72%. I built a ROS2/C++ in-cabin infrared-camera Driver Monitoring System to deliver real-time fatigue and distraction alerts. I led hardware-in-the-loop testing for Adaptive Cruise Control and authored comprehensive software coverage reports for ACC, sensor fusion, and DMS modules. I conducted ISO 26262 compliant PHA and STPA analyses, integrating safety mitigations into our development process. I championed test-driven development and CI/CD practices, raising code coverage to 85% and accelerating release cycles. I onboarded and mentored three new EcoCAR engineers, equipping them with best practices in tooling and Agile workflows.
