Personal Projects

HearySee (In Progress)
Using depth camera and computer vision to provide audio-based cues for blind people!

Heedy
Aggregator for personal data and extensible analysis engine. See heedy.org for detailed documentation.

RTCBot
Python library for live WebRTC robot control. Was motivated by a need to control the robot I built out of an RC car chassis.

About Me

I am interested in helping machines understand the world and applying this understanding to expand human capabilities.

Timeline

  • Summer 2022 - Joined Amazon as an Applied Scientist working in SCOT (Supply Chain Optimization Technologies)
  • 2016-2022 - Worked on Causal Inference/Machine Learning at the CausalAI lab at Purdue University.
  • Summer 2021 - Interned as an Applied Scientist at Amazon’s SCOT (Supply Chain Optimization Technologies).
  • Summers 2015/16 - Joseph Lewis III and I developed ConnectorDB, now called Heedy, an open-source platform for Quantified Self and data analysis.
  • Summer 2014 - Worked at Dan Gauthier’s Lab at Duke University, comparing reservoir computers to deep learning.
  • 2011-2014 - Worked with the Kwiat Quantum Information Group at UIUC, focusing on information reconciliation for quantum cryptography.
  • 2011 - Spencer Gore and I co-founded Space For All, which taught high-school and college-aged volunteers high altitude ballooning by flying scientific and advertising HAB payloads.
