I work at Tesla as a software engineer on the Autopilot team. Previously, I was a masters student in computer science at the University of British Columbia (UBC), working on robotics and reinforcement + deep learning research, advised by Michiel van de Panne. Before that, I worked on similar research for my undergraduate thesis at the University of Utah (2019) as a member of the LL4MA lab, advised by Tucker Hermans.
