Currently, I’m an engineer at Tesla AI, where I convince cars to drive themselves. In my past academic life, I studied Engineering Science at the University of Toronto where I majored in Electrical and Computer Engineering. My primary interests are in robotics, machine learning, distributed systems, optimization, and reliability. In short, I build useful things that 1) work, 2) work well, and 3) work well together.
Some of my past experiences include:
- Being the first engineer at a startup @ kortex (now eden.so)
- Upside-down reinforcement learning @ TISL, co-supervised by NVIDIA research
- Autoscaling, production engineering, and memory optimization @ Uber
- ROS for the NASA VIPER lunar rover @ Open Robotics (now under Alphabet)
- Memristor ML Acceleration @ ISML
- Autonomous vehicles @ aUToronto

- Fun fact: I have an Erdős number of 4. Not particularly impressive, but I think it’s pretty cool that I have one.
