Work Experience

  • Nebula Inc.
    October 2013 – Present
    Software Engineer – Developing and extending cloud automation and test software.

  • Willow Garage
    July 2011 – September 2013
    Robot Systems Administrator – I did software maintenance and testing, release management and systems administration for the PR2, and provided on-site support at conferences, demos and parties.
    I also implemented a number of tools to improve wireless network performance on robots.

  • JDSU
    July 2007 – Sep. 2007
    Programming Internship – I developed graphical design tools for thin film filter design, including the creation of a new filter design generation algorithm, implemented in Matlab. These tools are still in use today.

Projects

  • Dagny: Created in 2008, Dagny is an autonomous mobile robot built on an RC car chassis, including electronic system design, sensor and controller selection, software and firmware.

    • All of the firmware on Dagny is written from scratch in AVR C.
    • The software is a combination of custom software and existing ROS nodes.
    • Dagny competed in Sparkfun's Autonomous Vehicle Competition in 2011, 2012 and 2013, and won the Engineer's Choice award in 2012.
    • Dagny competed in Robomagellan at Robogames in 2012 and 2013.
    • Dagny has been a research platform for:
      • Running ROS on small robots
      • Running ROS on ARM
      • ROS navigation on a car-like robot
      • Outdoor navigation

  • ROS builds for ARM: Running a build farm to do ROS builds for ARM, in support of Dagny and for the greater ROS community. Builds are public and have an estimated 50-100 users. http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation/UbuntuARM

  • Xbee shell (xbsh): A configuration tool for Digi Xbee radios, to make them easier to use and interact with. Written in C++, using readline for input, history and custom tab-completion. https://github.com/trainman419/xbee

  • python-cec: A python library for CEC, the HDMI control protocol. It is wrapper around the libCEC library, and can be used to write scripts to control a home theater system.
