I currently live in Portland, Oregon and work on embedded systems at Galois. I've also been contributing to the ArduPilot project. Some of my projects can be found on Github.

Previously, I was the lead engineer on the Embedded MotionApps Platform at InvenSense.

I studied Electrical Engineering at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. Some work from my time there:

An essay on the problem of structure and reality in Nabokov's Pnin and Pale Fire, for Professor W.C. Dowling's English 220.
Trajectory-Aware Communication Solution for Underwater Gliders Using WHOI Micro-Modems, Proceedings of IEEE SECON 2010, with Baozhi Chen and Dr. Dario Pompili.
A technical report on the Rutgers Autonomous Aircraft Team's 2010 entry to the AUVSI UAS competition.
A Quaternion Kalman Filter for attitude and heading estimation, written in Haskell. Watch a quick demo.
A port of the Paparazzi Autopilot software to Linux.
A report and demonstration of my semester-long project in Professor K. Dana's Robotics and Computer Vision.
